I had to go down to Woodridge at the weekend. (The locals reading this will think I am mad) but needs must and all that.
Anyway, I can now confirm that it is NOT a place to want to live.
I got the first impression of not liking the area, and then the person we had to see mentioned this shooting the other day, and the fact that he keeps a shotgun handy all the time.
The thing I really noticed was the sound of police cars. I have got so used to not hearing them where I live, that it came as quite a shock.
The houses are cheap though !

The houses may be cheap, but you would have to PAY me to live there. And even then you would have to drag me there kicking & screaming & lock me in the house. Feral is an understatement.
The only other places in Brisbane that I would classify on the same level would be Eagleby, Darra & Inala.
If you wear a pair of shoes to the shops and you dont have a tattoo, you're the one that everyone looks at cos you're out of place

Mind you, when we lived in the next suburb there was one thing I noticed about the people in Woodridge.
They all had nice stuff.
Unfortunately, most of it was ours
