Billinudgel - any opinions?
A prospective job has come up for my OH in a place called Billinudgel NSW, all I know is that its near Byron Bay. Does anyone have any opinions about the place? Is it an area worth considering (we have 2 girls 10 and 13, so schools will be important) or is it a one horse town with a bend and a chip shop? 
Thanks for your time

Re: Billinudgel - any opinions?
Don't know that you'd want to live in Billinudgel as (from memory) it's mainly an semi-industrial area. However there are some lovely places in the vicinity that would be fantastic to live in.
You're quite close to a few other towns - Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. Murwillumbah is a reasonable size and the coastal areas around Pottsville and Cabarita are lovely too. Scenery is stunning - lovely rolling hills with a great coastline. It's only an hour or so to the Gold Coast, too.
A lot of people would give their right arm to have work in such a gorgous spot. Beware though - property is quite expensive up there considering it's really a rural area. Can't help with schools but if you want to live in a vibrant but non-metro area, you can't go wrong.

Re: Billinudgel - any opinions?
Thanks for the optimism! I remember visiting Pottsville and a small cafe near a grassy area, I ordered a burger and when it came I nearly fell off my chair - it was huge 
Mur'bah I remember too, but didn't realise it was close to B/Nudgel. We lived in Terranora for a while but only seemed to venture north rather than south. Maybe we missed the best bits?
