I just left wagga after 6 years. Wasn’t a fan at all.
Dubbo. Easy.
Uralla, New England region.
Sutherland shire is gods country
Merimbula is a beautiful place to live. A bit small, but on the coast. Expensive af though
Nimbin.

There only two states to be in.
Qld and pissed..
Only good thing about NSW is the people and the speed camera signs..
It's been a while since I've been up there, but I'd say Port Macquarie. Possibly we are getting into city territory here, granted. Great beaches and waterways, all the amenities, even wineries close by. I reckon it's a pretty good pick. I can't see myself too far inland really, so it's hard to opt for somewhere else. Orange might be ok. Bellingin (hardly inland really) would be another that has a lot of appeal.

It's been pork barrelled into a nice place to live.
"Jewel of the southern hemisphere"
Is that the reason? I was so impressed with it. Bunnings, Amart furniture, food, cinema. Everything is just 5 min drive away.
Damn, I can't wait to get OUT of Wagga!
What's the healthcare situation like - hospitals, specialists, etc.?
Day-O Daaaaay-O
So good they named it twice
A town so great they named
It twice.
Lots of ice in Wagga. It's also pretty cold.
Romanos
Yeah just watch out for the bush pigs
I live in Port Mac, and honestly, it's becoming another Coffs harbour again to much traffic. My extended family lives in Orange, and it's not bad, but it's not a great sorta thing Bathurst is great though
Oh no ouch
i'm in mudgee and having lived here my whole life, it sucks. but tourists love it mostly because of the wine
Albury is really nice!!!
What’s wrong with the South Coast?
Yeah, Mudgee’s a good place to visit as a tourist, but living here is quite expensive, and it gets quite ‘cliquey’

I love Moree as well! I know it has crime but so do many places. I love the warm sun, the endless plains, the grape vines and the mineral baths. And the ‘big reveal’ of the plains when coming from Delungra is one of my favourite road vistas in Australia.
Coffs Harbour is a shithole
You ain’t dun nothing till you’ve Dunbogan 🤌
My aunt and uncle live in Dunbogan, I used to live in Laurieton and I miss it so much
As an old time Berry resident, can confirm this is true. My wife likes to refer to the place as Disneyland for the bourgeoisie.
I’d never speak ill of warra.
Well played sir
Yair the Illawarra is crap Do not go there!! The Ugg boot capital of the world! It's all they can afford!
Dapto is pretty safe since Koala Man started patrolling the streets. Although you do have to put up with ciggie butt brains like Damo and Darren.
Agreed
Unless they had a mtb bike
I only lived in young for a year but it was probably one of the best years of my life. Great town! Go the cherrypickers!
I'd agree. Young is where it's at.
Went there a few days ago I was impressed
Yeah just watch out for the swamp rats. Also if you’re going out for a beer, careful the pub doesn’t just fucking catch fire and burn down.
Facts check out.
I'm from there and... agreed! Some nostalgia but not a lot that makes me want to go back and visit.

You’re over-pronouncing the t in that word.
It’s shit. Full of Daptoids. Inbreds.
Koala Man approves.
Was there last week and found staff at Cooma Hot Bake opposite the Kuma Pies shop to be extremely rude and grumpy [esp the old one]to visitors,and she carried on like the regulars were her own children….,
So our $50:00 that we spent wasn’t good enough for her.

Must've been a lot of soap spillage in that jail.
Can't be that good with Barnaby Joyce around
Is it a town anymore considering that the CBD has spread out so much?
Up the Panfas.
I was supposed to go there this morning to meet some friends, got up at 5am, 5mins in turn on the highway at Tea Gardens and there’s a massive smash. Spent two hours parked on the highway, then couldn’t be arsed as they’d be starting work soon after I arrived so fucked off to Newy instead where I’ve had a great morning down in Stockton then Medowie.
Bit more than a town though
A poor man's loftus
Yeah the shire
Just steer clear of Macca’s
Other than the weekend sport traffic, it’s pretty alright.
I think Urunga is better, similar vibe and lovely location but bypassed nicely and while there are a lot of rich retirees there’s also a load of lovely people around, and still close to Coffs if you need anything more niche.
Wait until it’s bypassed…..
Lol Tweed and Cooly are full of meth heads and eshays
I’ve heard the church is playing this weekend
Wait. They brought the all you can eat back to the golf club? I was informed it was no more since Covid..
Live in the Tweed, born and raised in Orange then lived in Bathurst and Port Macquarie after finishing school. Tweed is great for being close to so much while where the suburb we live is still pretty quiet. I work in retail in Tweed City and have really noticed an upshot in homeless and petty crime in the last 6 months. We rent and the other downside is the cost of rent has upshot while not at all being able to afford to buy, the house next door which was very average sold for 1.2 million dollars. Once my kids have finished high school in the next five years I think I’ll definitely be moving away, not because of the area as it’s great but the cost of living.
Cooly has it all that's true and Kingy and Caba are nice enough, even Fingal... But it's pretty hopeless there for young people trying to find a job that doesn't require the GC commute. Not to mention going to a uni that's not a shit as Southern Cross
Bellingen is half left wing wankers and half scummy derros. A terrible place.
Ah yes the two absolutely breath taking places with friendly locals.
Lismore is coming back slowly. There are still some gronks around but I love this town.
Mollymook and Bowral! Yes
I live in Taree!!! It's a fucking shithole
Armidale is absolute dogshit. Cold as fuck, and I don’t mean the weather - I mean the people. Nose up, snooty cunts.
Do not go there. Best thing they did was bypass the entire town with that highway
Byron is the biggest rip off shithole full of jerks
Most violent state high school in NSW
Ya’ll movin up here anyway
Its even got 2 EV chargers and Crystal Kingdom.
Agreed.
+1 - might be a bit small for some, but they are doing something right.
That’s us!
There is a Conservatorium here, a real Art Gallery, really lovely parks, a Botanical Garden, the National Art Glass gallery, the Museum of the Riverina, the longest bike track in the world that no one uses, an amazing kids playground on the river bank, several theatres and the university. Compare it to any other regional centre. It is amazing.
That's Hammond Avenue for you.
Well partly.
How come they call Wagga Wagga Wagga, but not Woy Woy Woy?
1rtu airmen agree, now go eat your maggot meat
We just got a major new hospital. 8 or nine stories high. Lots of GPs. No bulk billing that I know of. But at least you can see a doctor when you need to, if you have money. Large new ambulance station and crews that largely spends their time ramping at Emergency. So just like any major Australian city, but very much better than you would expect in a country town.
Also, not nearly enough specialists. Lots of trips to Canberra and Sydney for the very ill I’m afraid.
Once for the way in and once for the way out.
Lovely in winter!
Just sold.
Everytime I have been passing through Port Mac it is so windy that you cant even open your eyes fully when out. What % of days would you say are like that?
