Best and worst suburbs in Canberra

[Shezza]

I've got family there. It's a pretty cool little community - not far from the beach. I wouldn't live in the town itself but somewhere nearby.

Somewhere like Possum Creek would be amazing to bring up a family and have a little fruit orchard and try to finally relax a little. It's this silly little ideal I have, but it helps to have something like that to aim towards.

I plan on retiring down Lake Conjola. I like Lennox also to be honest.. But I'm a Sth Coast junkie as they are less tainted and commercial..

This is for when I'm old and decrepit though..

The wife speaks often about her desire to retire in Brazil. Apparently you can make a "donation" of about 50k to a local business and they "sponsor" you to retire... sounds alright, i have to say... but more than likely that'll get scuttled in time, i cant see my wife being able to be that far away from her kids and grand kids...

If i had to place a bet right now, i would suspect we'll retire somewhere along the beach in sydney

I have an agreement with my wife; when I turn 50, we wave our youngest off to uni, sell up the business, buy a house in the Japanese Alps, a place in France, a beach house in Thailand and an apartment in a tower somewhere as close to wherever the kids end up as we can find and spend the rest of our life commuting between the four according to the seasons.

Nick, I reckon Brazil is the last place I'd retire to - bloody expensive, too aggressive and you're as likely to end up with bullet wounds there as anywhere I've been.

And I'll be stuck in bloody Nambour.

Thanks TR, made my day.

Nambour was next on our list.

Mate, I dream of retiring somewhere out bush. Quite, peaceful living where I can ride trail bikes, walk naked and eat wild honey and grasshoppers.

I do all that in sunny Canberra.

That sounds pretty exceptional.
South of france is the other place the wife and i have casually spoken about as a retirment destination.

Yeah, i can see why those would all be a problem
I dont think its as dangerous as that and it's getting better in that regard as they start tryign to tackle the favela issue... but i do get your point. The culture is very appealing though.

[The Nickman]

I would say Nicko is actually MORE LIKELY to end up with bullet wounds in Brazil than any other person on the planet too.

You do that in Rocky. I've watched you.

I think you fail to remember the one particular gentleman..

Bigcheese.

Nicko - distant second.

[The Nickman]

Bigcheese wouldn't end up with bullet wounds!! He'd dodge the bullets and shiv the gunman with a sharpened water bottle before the guy could blink!

Red Hill - nice houses , nice suburb in general no issues ever in my street.

Except for when you are riding your pushy home from school and the neighbour backs out of his driveway without looking, yeah?

I hated that too when I was your age.

I'd stay on the Far North Coast Dreaming. God's country. Whereabouts are you?

I'm planning on retiring to Bangalow or Lennox or somewhere like that.

I'm in Lismore, when I was in the late teens and got my P plates, I used to love going to the beach.
Lennox Head, park the car, go to the beach for a swim, sunbake and then over to Lake Ainsworth to wash
off the sand and salty water and home.
I dislike the whole beach thing these days.

Good choices for places to retire, both in the slow lane and laid back.
I don't mind having a wander around Byron some great places to eat.
But the roads into Byron and the parking is ridiculous.

I went to Lismore High back in the day. Mum still lives on the outskirts of Lismore.

Not the biggest fan of Byron these days - not really my scene. I like to get away from the people a bit. Yamba would be a great spot but it is too far from anything.

Hey Shezza what do you call the outskirts?
