Guest Jarper Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah we have been down there, much nicer than the city beaches and that one on the ocean side beginning with G was amazing, we liked Finders too. Its the endless suburbs and the actual city we dont really likeIt sounds like you're just not a city person... where did you live in the UK?

Petals Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The beach beginning with G is Guannamatta. Amazing beach but very very dangerous a lot of people have drowned from this beach so its not for the inexperienced. Four children in one day drowned a few years ago.

blobby1000 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah bloody dangerous, how come the kids drowned? I thought there were lifeguards, I would have thought they would have closed the beach after the first drowning? Terrible. Jarper, yeah thanks for the pleaant response, beats the "oh sort it out you miserable t*at" kins of s*it that is usually reserved for anyone not claiming to have the time of their lives. We lived in Cheltenham, which was nice and I think you are right, we probably are not city people, certainly not Melbourne people, we are off to Adelaide soon to visit so will see what thats like. The problem is that the work is in the cities so you have to be near one really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazPaul Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 You just seem like a very angry man not just on this post.Mr NEGATIVE. Sort your life out before you go insane get yourself to a place you want to be as you obviously dont want to be in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobby1000 Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hahaha no not angry, but you'll fit right in on here calling people negative when they don't like things. It's a froum and yet only positive things are acceptable?? If you are bored enough to read all my posts you will see that you comment is nonsense. Why would I come out here with all that that involves (you will appreciate that) and then deliberately be negative. You are not even here yet so how can you comment? It's easy to think its all great before you get here, but you just wait and see. We are going to try to relocate, this particular post is to look at opinions about Melbourne, there's nothing angry about it, its negative cos we don't like it here and we have a right to express that.

Guest DaneD Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Does anyone else find Melbourne to be a depressing, graffiti ridden, litter strewn smelly hellhole and its suburbs to be largely soulless endless depressing and unfriendly? I'm moving to Melbourne because I love the place. I'm from Manchester though, so I like places that are a little rough around the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazPaul Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I am not bored enough to read any of your posts it just seems you post on quite a lot of threads on here whining and moaning no matter what its about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobby1000 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 Yes I have had a few moans recently I suppose! But its not all moaning honestly! When are you coming over and where do you think you will be living? Its been a bit up and down for us but there are some good points to Melbourne. Its so subjective tho, it just depends what you like! We probably just want somewhere quieter, well we definitely do, but if you want stuff going on all the time then Melbourne must be ideal.

The problem is that the work is in the cities so you have to be near one really. They do have flags at the beach but unfortunately people look at the smooth bit of water and head for it and smooth equals rip. I would not swim there although a walk along the beach is good. Point Leo is better for younger would be body boards and surfie types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olly Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I thought I might answer this thread, but you know what, right now I am not going to bother my backside. You live in such a small part of Greensborough, it's not that bad, you have a couple of yobs in your street/s. If I judged London like that I would never go back there.

olly Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 While everyone is entitled to express their opinions, maybe there is a way of expressing that opinion which might be more constructive to anyone thinking of coming to Melbourne? Your comments say very little, about a very very big place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
