You'd have to be severely brain damaged to move state because of covid.

So whats the %? Just sayin.

Thats right & we didn't know where it was going to land next did we but you will recall there was a big rush to get outta town when Vic. had constant trouble.

Everyone i have spoken to that has moved (i'm not that far from rick130 territory) was either a. Moving anyway before covid hit, or b. have worked out they can work from home so why not move to somewhere that suits their life or lifestyle better.

Definitely done that here.Suits me, I've got two houses to sell and none to buy...

There has been an influx of Melbourneites here. Pre Covid a house could be on the market for a couple of months before it was sold and prices reflected what the town was aka all of the houses were prefabricated in the UK and imported. Like early Landrovers...CKD.

Now when a house is advertised it only lasts for a couple of days or is sold within 24 hours. Prices have skyrocketed too with an over night increase of $150G/$200G.

These newcomers are also changing the town and not for the better. Unfortunately they have also brought their big city attitudes with them which is destroying the friendly, rural atmosphere of the place...where, for example, saying G'day as you encountered other shoppers was normal. Do that now and a frosty stare is the result.

Not happy Jan...........

Hey, we aren't all like that.
