Honestly great. Plenty of beaches and lovely weather. I’d still live there if it weren’t for my work and family.

Nowadays though, the town seems to be getting a bit too big for itself. I still visit very few months and every time it feels less like a quiet beach town. It feels like the the main roads are frequently congested and wider than ever.

Maybe that’s just me and my nostalgia for how it used to be…

Feels a little surreal seeing pics from my old hometown on the fediverse.

If you do it right you should have no problems getting high _temps

Definitely not in Brisbane. Our public transport feels completely forgotten about. The only form I have access to is a bus and the closest bus stop I would have to walk to is over 2km away. I don’t live in the middle of the city or anything but the area is well established and there is basically no infrastructure to provide basic public transport to people.

This whole fuel shit show will likely be awful and probably expensive.

Not officially. There are resellers but they have their own risks.
