Bowral
"Beautiful place but lack of basic infrastructure and maintenance"
Honestly its a beautiful place. Also a great place to raise young kids as its pretty safe and quiet. During the seasons of spring and autumn its simply stunning here. Can be busy on the weekend with tourists but that is to be expected as its 1.5 hrs from Sydney and almost the same from Canberra.
What does let the place down however, is the lack of decent infrastructure with very poor road conditions, lack of footpaths, minimal park maintenance and general presentation with litter left alongside roadways etc.
Who lives here?

Oh also hardly any footpaths or decent infrastructure. Kids walking to Bowral High School have to walk on the road as there is no footpaths for them to use. This is normal around here, 10 years ago the council gave away free safety vests to ratepayers to try to mitigate their safety obligations, seriously.
We pay some of the highest council rates in Australia and they got a substantial rise a few years back to improve infrastructure and are honestly now doing less. Parks are not well maintained and the council doesn't do much about it.
The council ignores ratepayers
Do yourself a favour, don't do it as there are much better places to live....
