? for Skippy - Guru of all things Illawarra

Hi Skippy

Been looking on the real estate sites at property - just to depress myself as they will all be gone by the time I get a CO, never mind a visa - can you tell me what Albion Park Rail and Mount Warrigal are like? Seem to be a bit cheap to me. Also, it looks as though your house prices are dropping a bit, just like ours.

Cheers Hun

Jean

You're OK, we won't be in competition as we want an older place because we want a garden, not just 'an entertainment area' and most of the new builds are on top of one another.

Where's Skippy gone? Not like him to not get straight back. I know he said he was going to hibernate for the winter, but come on, we need his advice.

Jean

No worries I was only kidding..we would like a garden too..it does seem that the new builds do not have much land. We shall have to see...newish would suit us we are not too fussy (thankfully) and have seen lots of potential dream homes so when the time comes (one day!!) im sure we will get the right one..
Perhaps skippy is hibernating....perhaps if I shout loud enough.....TREVOR...WHERE ARE YOU?????...perhaps he is showing meggs family around...Dont worry Jean...we will get there..eventually..feels like forever..Perhaps once we have all arrived we can all meet up at your sons resturant..I cant wait to visit, it looks fab.

Some areas of both suburbs are quite nice Jean, so it just depends on where the houses are, parts of Mt Warrigal are government housing, so this can affect the prices, others are mansions with views over the lake etc.
A/P rail covers a wide area, some of it is light industrial, you wouldn't want to be too close to the main road or the railway, Prices have dropped a little here, the rise in the interest rate has caused this, people are frightened to get into debt, others are in too much debt and have to sell up, etc, etc.
You have to see these places with your own eyes, it's good to see what the neighbours are like, I have a few friends that live at the rail [as we call it] and it is quite nice where they live, quiet friendly cul de sacs.

What's wrong.
Why would I want to be out in this weather ? it is only 16 deg C & has teemed it down for the last 3 days, and there is more to come, have not heard from meggs, she certainly picked the wrong time to come here, all I can see is mist and rain, it hasn't been like this for years.
I've got the gas fire going now, some nice soft music playing and now for more

Weather is not much better here, in fact it is total crap. The sun has half popped out this morning, for a bout 10 minutes. We have had nothing but rain all week - localised flooding all over the place. Even the bowls green is flooded and it is raised!

Thanks Jean, I feel better now I've read your post, but I don't like being housebound, I like to get out & enjoy the environment.

Hello Cox's, Shellharbour Hospital is situated on the fringe of Mt Warrigal & Warilla, the places within easy reach & cycling distance are, Warilla, Mt Warrigal, Flinders, Oak Flats, Barrack Heights, A/P rail & Ballarang, I haven't heard of anyone having problems trying to rent.
Don't know much about hiring cars, Budget Rent a Car - Car Hire Sydney, Car Hire Melbourne, Car Hire Australia Avis Rent A Car www.hertz.com.au compactcarrentals.com.au Thrifty Australia best value car rental and truck rental. Car hire Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, Cairns, Gold coast, Hobart, Darwin, more.
The Compact rental say $35 a day, but not sure of the fine print or what kind of car you would get for that.
