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

    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!

    I reckon where I live is a total dump. Absolute rubbish. Nothing to see here, so move on.
