A little bit of Parochialism - Where is the best place to live?

[HappyHammer]

Hong Kong?

0 minutes to millions of people...no thanks...

Somewhere not too hot and not too cold.....bloody hell I'm there

I reckon it's where you want to be rather than where you have to be....

I know a guy who, on his retirement as a manager for TNT, was given a trip around the world in the owner's suites on a couple of the company's ships. The trip was as good as you would expect it to be.
He claims the best sight they saw on the whole journey was the lights of his home town in the distance at the end of the trip.

Queenstown NZ, cant ask for better... just gotta like the rain(8m avg)and cold winters.

And you choose Port Pirie?

[Iain]

Derwent Bridge Tassy, yeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa, real deliverance country, no radio, tv, internet, roads, cut off in winter, good trout fishing, toothless sheilas, bad grog.
OK, that was the 60's.......

[journeyman Mick]

To those of you who reckon where you are is the best place to live, you're right, stay where you are.

To those of you who are looking for somewhere else to live, you won't like it here. There's cyclones, crocodiles, deadly jellyfish, uncomfortably high temperatures and humidity, wild pigs, bullrouts, etc etc etc.

Move along folks, therfe's nothing here to see.

This is where I would insert the picture of 'the brothers' but I think they have been done to death.... almost.


PS. Just in case you haven't seen the brothers from the hills, look here.

And you choose Port Pirie?

Yes thats my excuse... whats yours!

[ernknot]

Not to make to fine a point of it but I reckon where I live is the best place in the world. Basically I will leave when they carry me out in a box. Where is this eden? if you had to ask you havent been there. The Blue Mountains west of Sydney of course.

We are 70 minutes from the big smoke, in the middle of a world heritage listed national park, close to Uni and selective schools for the kids, etc. Broadband, live bands, Folk festival, parking, low crime etc,etc. In fact where we are we have a whole five minute, thats right! five minute walk to the beautiful Glenbrook gorge and its panoramic vistas.

Open to all, beat that!

(ouch bit, my tongue, in my cheek)

That's easy. Place called Tasmania.

[Cliff Rogers]

..... Place called Tasmania.

Do you know where I might find a map?

[fred.n]

Hasn't all the bush been cleared in Tasmania

[Cliff Rogers]

Only on some recent maps.

[weisyboy]

Tasmania to cold, Sydney still to cold, Cairns to hot.

Upper Brookfield just right.
10 mins to the city, 2 mins to the school, plenty of trees and open space, small community, my heaven on earth.

Hasn't all the bush been cleared in Tasmania

Where all the bush is cleared. Dont they call that Brazil?

If I could live anywhere, it would be in a Sydney habourside mansion. Not for the house, but the access to one hell of a fishery, beautiful views and close proximity to everything else.

But only if I didn't have to go to work. No point otherwise.

This time of year, absolutely no question - Darwin of course.
Check out your evening weather reports.
Last week it dropped down to 15 overnight, unbelievably cold, but we battled through it and now it's civilised temps again.

Just off for a swim in Lake Alexander. 7:00 am.

Cheers
Bill.
