Yup... I arrived in Melb in 1996 and started house-hunting... I asked a new work colleague about this place with he lovely name of Broadmeadows... he shuddered and said one word..."Hell!". :-)

I went for a look anyway... lovely little 3 bedroom bungalows each sitting on quarter of an acre... decidedly "working class" suburb yes..., but clean and fairly tidy...

These people here have never seen a Broadwater Farm, Gorbals, or any "real" hell....

You will find that a lot of the people who put down suburbs like Altona, Sunshine or Laverton have never actually been there....

Springvale, out east... Now there is scary place.....
