Please please go away ! The influx of metro****s is doing nothing but destroy how we and our kids and our grandkids live! If you do move here then leave your progressive politic shite behind and learn to live how the locals have lived happily and sustainably for generations!
Take note starting at 00.59 "If you are a willing worker" laughing my arse off! They only want to work on their gay laptops from home they don't want a rural job that actually contributes in a tangible, material way to a regional community! Up here if you can "work from home" then that's not a real job!

A major obstacle is regional council scum. The sort that make their inner city latte sipping, smashed avo woke brigade look like amateurs. Like the country council where my retreat is wanted to bill me annually for digging a hole to shit in. Seriously, they called it an on-site sewerage disposal levy. I told them to go fark themselves, said I would avoid the on-site levy by posting all my waste to council. They changed their minds pretty quickly.
As for sea changers, you better be quick. I bought 3 acres a sea shell throw away from the beach on the Eurobodalla coast a few years ago. You need a million dollars to buy a house in my estate now.

You will have a good view of the Tsunami that is coming Frostbite ! LOL. We moved from the south coast (Wollongong area) 900 km north and 200 km inland, across two mountains, as its a coming folks. Our council just inspected our septic, we paid the once off fee and that's it, forever. They didn't even expect us to connect to the mains power, just as well as id have told them where to go, and our 20KW stand alone solar system based on a huge (4.5 tons), submarine battery bank of 48 volts and associated inverters, generators etc. does us, and our kids, my sister, her kids, and the water pumps to pump to header tanks from the rain water and dams, giving gravity feed to the whole farm.
Do the things of which you will be proud of when you are older.

Up here if you can "work from home" then that's not a real job! Mate, I don't think I'm anything like a metrosexual, but are now trying to make a living working from home on my laptop! I lost my job of twenty years recently (was expecting a gold watch, instead got the arse), and are relying on whatever piecemeal freelance consulting work I can pick up. Unfortunately the supply of unemployed experienced white collars workers is pretty high worldwide though, so the companies are happy to parcel out their work to anyone around the world under the guise of the gig economy. I am doing some research and planning for projects I hope to get up and running once Aus lets us expats back in though. Really looking forward to setting up back in Aus with a real job that will hopefully also employ a few other people too.

Do the things of which you will be proud of when you are older. I'm in Wollongong. On a hill. With the escarpement just behind me. That tsunami would have to be several hundred metres high to get me. It's only a once off fee until they decide to introduce a new fee. That's how they get around the rate rise cap set by the state grubbyment.

Yup, that sound like Government policy, its OK until we change it, then its law.
I liked living down there, worked at BHP for over 30 years and lived at Albion Park. 40 odd years ago it was just a few houses and a nice country pub, but when we left 18 years ago, it was a city of 300,000. To much for us so we bailed to northern NSW. Never regretted it. Not gonna be a good place to be WTSHTF. My mum and step father live at Unanderra, and know its coming, but at over 80 years old, they are resigned to dying in place and I have to respect that decision.
What happens if you don't pay your exorcist ? You get repossessed !

I experienced this 1st hand back in tassie where my property went from valueless farmland surrounded by farms and bush blocks to being built out and surrounded by smaller 2 and 3 acre properties after all the farmers subdivided. The types that bought into the area were not willing to accept that in rural locations people do things associated with rural activities and slowly the the pressure of inner city living was on my door step. Things like
Concerned members of the public calling the environmental department about the legal tree clearing i was performing with a permit as part of a pest weed control program and fire hazard reduction Concerned members of the public calling the police because they heard gun shots in the distance while performing a permitted target species on my property and any other time i let a shot off as i was lawfully permitted to on my rural property the local police were good about it but they basically said it would always be me that got spoken to never the people complaining
objections to my yearly fireworks display that was part of a winter thing we use to do with a big bonfire and a bunch of fireworks under permit from workplace standards and tasfire 5 of the 6 new neighbors objected due to "wildlife concerns "so they had no choice but to revoke my permit
Their dogs comming onto my property and killing chickens that we had as a breeding program for sale as show birds we lost $5k worth of birds in 1 night due to this the dog involved was exploded by a 130gr copper hollow point .308
The more of them that moved in the more the problems grew so i sold out and moved but realy it was more i was forced out because in long term it was going to cost me far too much to remain defiant and live on and manage a rural property as a rural property surrounded by urbanites on hobby farm

Metros moving to the bush without being prepared to adjust to accommodate the locals and their traditional way of life!

The government is wasting their time advertising this when there's already too many people doing it.

grumble yeah that summary sucks and the potential for that kind of negative development strongly influenced my choice of where to buy land. I'd rather a certain amount of remoteness and preservation of that unfettered lifestyle over convenience and proximity to any metro centre and the risks of getting crowded out. The choice comes with a degree of inconvenience but I'm ok with that.

We have a lot of people moving here from places like Vancouver .....spit.... And all the resulting crap that goes with that..
I found this today... Says it well... = = = = Welcome to the Neighborhood
You came here from there because you didn’t like there, and now you want to change here to be like there.. We are not racist, phobic or anti whatever-you-are, we simply like here the way it is and most of us actually came here because it is not like there, wherever there was. You are welcome here, but please stop trying to make here like there.. If you want here to be like there you should not have left there to come here, and you are invited to leave here and go back there as soon as possible..

I like it Tim. It appears “There” is always a major city. + + + + Yes... In most cases "there" usually is a major city or metro area.. And "here" is the imagined idealized country place they see in country living magazines.. Rural versions of Better Homes and Gardens magazine... A step farther out than the manicured urban life style they imagine from the glossy paper real estate adds they see...
Don't get me started...

Have had similar experience. Was the dog tagged and/or chipped? Would have been nice to return the dog back to the sender along with a $5000 invoice for your dead stock and a $2 fee for the cartridge used to solve the problem. And a further invoice for the packaging the dog bits were put into and $150 an hour for your time in managing the repatriation of the remains. Your minimum call-out fee being at least 3 hours.
