Windsor and Richmond are supposed to be a bit bible belt aren't they not?
Its like everything else, only you can find out whether you like it or not.
I did go to Richmond once and it seemed OK, as someone said, it's a first impressions insight.
it would get bloody hot (and cold) there.

Having lived in St Clair, about 25 minutes from Windsor, where my wife worked, we now prefer the weather here in SE QLD 
(Cooler in Summer, warmer in Winter.)

Re: RAAF Richmond near Sydney
Out of the corner of my eye (I was busy in the kitchen) I could see that Penrith was on "The Great Outdoors" last night. So must be ok if they even get tourists. For those in the UK, "the Great Outdoors" is a travel programme. Apparently Penrith was the first place outside North America for a KrispyKreme store to open.
Anyway....about Richmond.....we drove through it last month - it looked like a small country town - very tidy and surrounded by nice countryside - one drawback......living near airfield (might be noisy
). Haven't read or seen anything negative about this area.
Also, did not see Ned Flanders......by the way, would it be that bad living next door to him?? Hi-diddly-do neighbours

Worth checking the exact flight paths, we never got any over us in St Clair

Regarding airfield - I was just thinking of my sister who lives in Lakenheath. She says you get used to the noise but I was not used to hearing those fighter jets. I just about fell out of bed when they flew over at 6 a.m. (could've been 7 a.m.).

I wouldn't put my relatives through the tourist delights of Penrith unless I was getting annoyed with them.
