Good article in today's Age Newspaper. The area they are talking about is farming country, as different as different to the UK as it could get, however in these areas community is everything and people are out and about doing things together all the time.

 

Food for thought as jobs in the country and the price of houses gives a good life for anyone who likes something different to town and city life.

I rejected the southern suburbs of Adelaide as a place to live because they felt too isolated for me. I'd have no chance there. I do think though that those are the kind of towns that the Australian government really want the skilled immigrants moving to and the country would be much better off if more of them did.

During my childhood we lived in woop woop a lot, and I look back with fondness, we were in Africa and lived in very small places, no schools so had to go to Boarding School. In New Zealand we lived in the country but bit like UK not too far away in the country there as its so much smaller. Mum and Dad did the whole living in the Kimberly and every other State of Aus after I had grown up. Wanderers. We also lived in the country in UK so guess deep down country is there for me.

 

My son loved his time in woop woop and to look at the place he lived you would think nothing was going on, well he had a better social life there than his friends back here in Melbourne and made life long friends. Nothing like a case a DVD and a day on a header doing a wheat field the size of a farm.
