"A dying town like its neighbour Forster."
A good 4.5 hours drive north of Sydney where property prices have plunged whilst the mostly pensioner population gets larger and older. One big aged care facilty for the extremely poor. It has nothing. The council even had to pay for a supermarket as no retailer would put the money up to build one.
Great for
- A beach but in saying that there are better beaches all over nsw including sydney itself

You want a tired town with zero prospects then Katoomba is the gold standard for that! We cant wait to move to the area.

"doesnt get much better"
An excellent mix of old and new. Castles and modern houses. Very green. Cool night air even in the middle of summer. Large lots. Very close to everything. 15 minutes by car to cbd and 25 minutes by bus.
