Lets just say I speak with your colleagues regularly regarding the above.
Ace,
I live in Claremont Meadows, I have for the last two and a half years and have about two years to go (will be posted out in Jan 2013 - I am a RAAFy). My house is 5 bedrooms, 930SQM block (almost a quarter acre!), very private, rear access, double lockup garage with carport and about to put a 9mx6m shed in the back yard. Will still have room for the pool in the next twelve months or so with enough room left over for the kiddies to still jump on the trampoline and the dog to dig holes. Has a good little primary school with a strict principal. Only 1100 people in Claremont Meadows and it is indeed a sleepy little village. the new subdivisions opening up have blocks about 500-700SQm. My house was around $450k when I bought it and in the two years involving the GFC it has only gone up at most $50K. But my street is very quiet, we know all our neighbors, we go 4WDing, shooting, motobike riding and have street BBQ's together, just like we used to in the sleepy little town I grew up in in the country. We could not have found a better house/place to live as far as the family and I are concerned in western Sydney. But keep it quiet, it is a very well kept secret!
As an aside I will be posted out in two years and will be looking to sell (as I said I am a RAAFy) so drop me a line in two years and we may be able to come to a deal!
Cheers
Dave

Rover Ron, love to go for a ride with you when the weather is cooler, strictly a fair weather rider nowdays i.e temperature between 17 & 22 degrees with no chance of rain, wind less than 15 knots and 30% or less cloud cover.
Ron, saw a sign on the F3 the other day that says "fine exceeds $220" for that offence. The price of inflation I guess. Or maybe different fines for different areas.Quote:

Thanks for that Dave, I do like the look of the area, and you can see on the map that it's secluded, well as secluded as a suburb in sydney gets.Quote:

Seriously though. Looking at the various areas somewhere like Claremont Meadows, St Clair or Emu Plains is looking like the places we will be have a look around.

Yeah, sorry Lou, to far away. :DQuote:

Eventually someone figured if they put 'exceeds' in front of the penalty that the signs would be good for years to come.Quote:

Full of scumbag public housing tenants with armies of unsupervised outlaw kids. The Willmott bottle shop was held up three times in one day!!! The proprietor was understandably getting a bit fed up with this. He had been held up or broken into on a number of other occasions. Third time lucky and the proprietor let the dusky skinned perp have it with a shotgun and killed him. Caused a minor riot and the proprietor was accused by all and sundry in the do good touchy feely industry of being racist. They must think it is OK to shoot white crims but not black ones.Quote:

I understand completely. It's too hot with leather.Quote:
