ozpursuit Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I had the chance to drop by the place en route to adelaide. it's really a very quaint community, not much happening. job prospect would be limited i guess since there's not much commerce going on.

Jacaranda Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Go on google street view for a look!Nice place although quiet.Don't underestimate country towns.They can sometimes be really great places to live.Most people know eachother and have a really good community spirit.Whats OH's job?

Quoll Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My husband (a country Victorian boy) just chuckled and said "well that won't be every migrants dream of Australia". If you like hot, flat and dry it'll be fine (with the occasional flood). It's a largish country town on a major highway, miles away from anywhere really but country towns can be quite liveable and in some ways have more of a community feel to them. It won't be anything like living in the UK countryside or a UK small town that's for sure. On the plus side, property will be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boys and I are moving to Horsham next month and are really quite excited about it. Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 You'll be alright there- some great countryside round abouts and as others say, community spirit. Could be issues around seeing your client families outside of work with a small population- especially if you are in child protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
