If you are looking at OZ as a whole then just tell me to shut up!

Re: your suburb
I love where I live because:
1) I have an uninterrupted 360 degree view of the sky (nice at night, particularly)
2) I can commute comfortably to the city
3) I doesn't 'feel' suburby
4) We have chickens and tank water and don't feel out of place
5) Our local paper is full of wholesome 'country' things
6) There is no way I could live like this in the UK
7) My wife and daughter love it too (maybe should be higher ...)
8) The locals couldn't give a monkey's where I came from originally
9) The local country show was top this year, and not a rip-off like the Ekka
10) I can leave the car unlocked (or full of stuff) overnight and have no worries
Ah, shedloads of stuff ...

Re: your suburb
I love where I live because......It has beaches on the doorstep, lovely walks, cycle tracks, some great restaurants and cafes. There is hardly any Hoon activity (unlike the rest of Australia). It is quiet (yes, a retirement home some might say), peaceful (relatively). There are all the shops we need and more just a short drive away....I could go on!
I live in Recliffe.

Re: your suburb
you must have a very small car, if one CD, one nappy bag and one buggy, constitutes 'full of stuff'.....don't think I'll bother now, was hoping for a lot more!
