hehe thats right JJ, i have a mate who moved 2 or so hours away to mid north town here, for health reasons, he had originally already moved from melbourne to here, coz he couldnt handle the pace anymore, then eventually even adelaide was too hectic for him! lol
he's been there 10 or 11 yrs or so now, and tried to fit in with locals, volunteer at old peoples home lots of stuff like that. he says it is common wisdom/knowledge that it takes about 20 years for outsiders to be accepted as part of the community where he is. of course he makes friends with all the other outsiders/blow-ins no problem. only 10 years to go! friendly country people my arse.
hmmm methinks city is a MUCH friendlier place.
they suspicous you're on the run or something, or something to hide, to move out there lol
of course thats outback type cockie towns, not the cosmopoliton places like snake valley
and whats the other common warning, dont go near towns at the end of a rail line?
