Canberra. I may as well be living in the middle of the Nullabor Plains, at least there would be more things to do there.

Boolarra, a small culture vacuum consisting of 500 lost souls (and only 2 last names).

30km south of the M1 when it's about 150km east of Melbourne.

Pilch lives nearby

There are some pretty good roads around here for "night driving" too

Bendigo, population of about 60,000, being central to all places in vic, Melb is just down the road as with the beach, the high country and snow is not to far away, and of course the murray is just up the road, apart from all the lake's and res's around here not like they used to be, there are still some places to see on the weekend's.

Hi,im in Hervey Bay QLD pop55000 ( 45000.3 years ago) was a nice place to live, now lots of traffic lights and 20000 elderly drivers making my drives around town far more risky,and slower, plenty of speed cameras moving around also,and a lot more thefts happening , i never locked my cars for over 10 years now its a must do ,lots of fantastic cars hidden in garages and almost zero car scene as they are all too ****weak to take there trailer queens out of their garages.

Pomona. Little town, f*ck knows how many people, far northern end of Sunny Coast. 20 minutes south of Gympie. Yeah. It's great. We have a bowls club that's only open for meals two nights a week. The other 5 days is for booze and bowls I suppose. Oh, and a pub that just very recently got Keno available. Yeah. Beat that.
