Roll Call

@Piccme That's a big move weather wise! How long did it take to adjust to the humidity up there?

I’m in Clifton Beach, far North Queensland, 2 minutes from the beach and Palm Cove. Beautiful weather this time of year but the wet season can get a bit tiring. Originally from Mornington Peninsula but got fed up with Victoria’s cold weather. Have been up here for over 11 years but still not considered a local yet. 

Hi @Sarnicad
I am over the other side of Ascot Vale, almost in Moonee Ponds. 

We might have to organise a pub crawl through all of your lovely home towns. 

Ascot Vale Melbourne - never sure if it is north,north west or west. But simplest explanation is near the Showgrounds or Flemington racetrack

Castlecrag, Sydney. Also Roseville, next suburb, and East Lindfield, where our daughters live. We are all in 10 minutes drive of each other.

@Sister The biggest changes are in Mullumbimby where I spent 20 years. It's gone from Hippie Haven to young Start Up companies all operated via the internet. It has changed the nature of country towns where once upon a time young couples just wanted to get out. Now they all want to get in, lol.
Byron Bay doesn't have an off season anymore and is always full of backpackers.
Suffolk Park is full of tradie/surfies and millionaires.
There's not much in between.
Our biggest attraction these days would have to be Music Festivals.
There's one on every month with people from all over the place converging in the one spot with all their different germs.
The locals know to keep away from Woollies at such times, lol.

@PatsyN I didn't know there was an Epping in Sydney until I put Epping in my GPS and it told me how far I had to go

I'm pretty sure the NSW Epping is bigger than your Epping. It was an old suburb when my Granma lived there. I haven't been there in well over 50 years, so I can only guess what it's like these days.

@Josephine66 another Aldonga gal. How long ago did you leave here? We have a wonderful new cancer centre here at the Base.

Lovely to see where everyone lives. Would love to see more chime in!

Hi all. I live in country south australia, in a small coastal community called North Beach,its quiet and very peaceful, I can hear the ocean but cannot see it as we are in a bit of a dip, I only have to walk out side up the hill and there is the sea,Perfect -
