Bleedin,
yeah the toursit $$ and chasing thereof has wrecked the village centre and its atmosphere. Can't really see why toursits come anyway, you could transplant everything they see to somewhere else and it wouldn't really make a difference. It's still a great place to live, but my trips into the village are very short, just a quick visit to the corner store or the newsagency. There's been an absolute fortune spent on streetscaping the main street, paid for out of a toursit levy. Doesn't really benefit anyone other than the shopkeepers though, and most shops close around 2 when the toursits leave. The latest folly was thousands spent on streetscape lighting, which looks wonderful, but you could shoot a cannon down the main street after dark and be guaranteed not to hit anyone.

That little bloke John W Hobbit takes a job and then can't be bothered to live where it is based.
Are we American-ised hell yes and I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing.
Still, Qld does have some things going for it. My mother-in-law lives up there and I love her when she is in QLD and I am in Canberra.
