Fond memories in those dunes.
Well it became an unexpected first.
Will be able to watch the construction from my kitchen window. I thought this proposal had died a few years a go.
We moved to Dodges Ferry in May last year and have views over 7 mile and surrounds its pretty speccy! Speaking with long time locals, these areas are changing dramatically with a lot of professional families moving and settling long term. There are plently of interstaters buying property and a lot more moving down. But the Rental market (both Air BNB and residential) is huge and yield is much better than most capital cities.
@thecollective it appears this is a much scaled down version, origianlly it had a realestate component to it as well.
I had a house on Bally Park Rd in Dodges Ferry but sold up as a guy turned up with a shotgun on my back porch wanting to end me.
I was out at the time and he went back to his house that night and hung himself. He was married with kids but was upset with me for dating his ex girlfriend.
My neighbour asked me if I got the shotgun as he saw him on the back porch and thought he was just returning it.
Found a note a few days later that was under my back door that ended with.
F—k you dead.... Count your lucky stars that you’re not home.
Geez, sounds more like 8 mile than 7 mile
Holy FK! Scary as hell. Do not blame you for leaving. We've lived in some sketchy places and travelled to some really bad places, but nothing like that!
Its still got that rough feeling in parts, but a lot of the shacks are getting turned over. We're up on the hill so a bit removed from it. Its much queiter here than Glenorchy or our former places in Melbourne.
Why does all the best sites (sandbased) for golf courses only seem to be where the weather is crappy?
Would it be possible to relocate Tasmania to somewhere off the NSW north coast.
After living here for more than 12 months, I don't reckon its that crappy (even after a wet winter). Its better than Melbourne and Sydney and anywhere north in summer, and winter has a lot of super clear sunny days perfect for playing golf.
Generally Hobart has less rainfall than all other capital cities other than Perth.
I don't want to kill a good generalization with some data but according to the BOM, Melbourne has the least average rainfall of any capital city, followed by Adelaide and then Hobart. Days without rain might be a different story.
ANNUAL Rainfall (mm) Melbourne 518 Adelaide 547 Hobart 569 Canberra 602 Perth 734 Sydney 1042 Brisbane 1080 Darwin 1812

If the weather down south is so great how come so many head north in winter?
The above makes a lot of sense. Based on my experience (I lived in Melbourne for 6 years) there are a lot of frequent showers but the duration is far shorter than other states.
SA has similar weather to Victoria once you head down the peninsula, makes sense really as the two states are relatively close to each other
Brisbane gets plenty of rainfall, but it all comes down at once.
Pffft, amateurs.
