whats great about your town?

[Kimberlyann]

Central coast beach suburbs are amazing etc Wamberal, Terrigal, Avoca with nice restaurants and fantastic beaches. We have one good night club. A reptile park is a plus lol, an ice rink and a few skate parks but everything else is ****

I'd like to know what this good night club is cause i've never stepped into one ever on the coast?
The one and only good thing about the coast are the beaches. The entrance is our main attraction but any local know's there is no point going near there in any type of holiday.

lol I agree... I lived up there for a while and the only 'night club' that I had fun in was Grab-a-Grannie at the leagues club in Gossy, and the only reason I had fun is because they had to chase me to kick me out. The Central coast has very little going for it except for some of the beaches...

I understand .. I had to move to Melbourne when my Dad was ill (stayed for 6 whole years) and every single day my heart yearned for the mountains of the Scenic Rim SE Qld.
Back now and all is well... I can see my mountains again

Home is where the heart is

Nothing but I'm biased.
No wild snakes in my back yard.
Trying to move, hmm where is that new years resolution thread.

Should be brown snakes aplenty, mate! A pretty regular occurance, even in the Adelaide Burb's.

I reckon having a few pairs of these nesting within a few minutes drive from my house is pretty cool.

Being able to do this everyday is not bad either.

Then there is the fishing.

Seeing these guys everytime I go for a herp has it's benefits.I guess

Wild Eccies are also pretty cool. People in the city get to see a similar thing at nightclubs I hear? I wouldn't know though as we don't have a night club here.

There are countless species of my beloved Carlia (well was once all Carlia) genus

Best of all, the distinct lack of people. It is good for the soul when there is not a soul around!

Plenty of other cool wildlife to see

On the Sunshine Coast. Over 24 species of snake recorded plus great fishing, kayaking etc. The great unknown Conondale Ranges are just behind us. Unfortunately the coast is currently warm and full of girls in skimpy costumes with push-up bras which is making driving difficult

The driving has got even more difficult recently

Really? Sunshine Coast is a hole.

Brisbane is only a nine hour walk away. There are plenty of shopping centres to hang around and be bored in there

No wild snakes in my back yard.

Got coastals and YFWS in mine. Plus Lacies and ewd. I'm surprised I haven't seen GTS and BTS in my backyard -YET

I live in moonta S.A. place is a hole, 40c+ for a week then drops to 23c for a week then back up to 40c+ the only herps you see are blueys, sleepys, some beardies and brown snakes galore, the locals around here think that the shovel is the best snake catcher in the area, and the amount of people who swerve all over the rd in an attempt to kill any reptile they see down here disgusts me.
When i told one of my customers that it is an offence to kill native wildlife and that she could get fined for it she complained to my boss that i threatened her and recieved a written warning. The nightlife is non existant and the fishing gets too much with 800+ boats trying to put in at the worst pontoons in the country. All in all there is nothing good to say about Moonta S.A. it is a dive, if given a choice steer clear.

I live in moonta S.A. ..only herps ..fishing....

A few years ago we did a herping trip to York Peninsula with the SA museum. there is plenty there but is hard to find. The following are from that trip

and many more ( a Western Bluey was also found about an hour after I left)
And the cliffs off Innes Nat park were great for salmon fishing

40c+ for a week then drops to 23c for a week then back up to 40c+ ...

That's what sucks about SA, it doesn't like temperatures in the 30s, it's either high 20s or low 40s
