Why do people buy farm/country land?

[hihosilver]

here we go it's good to see the upstairs downstairs British royal deep seeded BS of hallucination elitism is still at work with residents of "The Shire" Every time I hear that expression, and BTW, I live in the area - I cringe. Especially when it's coming from a sun worn wrinkly dinky di, Aussie Flag waving, thong shoe, knumbnut who if ever were to go to the UK and park his/her ass within 500m of the pearly charlatan gates of Buckingham Palace, would be moved on very quickly and told to go back to convict land in a very polite West London accent go figure that out :lol:

:lol:
Nope, haven't figured it out... :|
Also can't figure out why I would ever want to park my ass within 500m of Buckingham Palace either? The whole country is a shithole, which is obvious given the number of poms gaining permanent residency in good ole convict land.
:lol:

bloody immigrants bringing their traditions, social systems, art, culture, song, food & dance to a lovely country like this who had much more before they came eh

Don't get me wrong, I love multiculturalism for all the right reasons. I wish we would adopt more of the better parts of culture that exists in the world.
But, don't choose to live here then tell me how much better your homeland is. Also, don't make excuses for your unacceptable behaviour based on religious beliefs.

"Why do people buy farm/country land?"



Because they are not making any more of it, in fact much of it gets flushed down the rivers and into the sea.

One day it will ALL be in the sea.

I've got a small block at hill end, nsw.
Its sheep country.
The finest wool comes from the poorest country, , where sheep have to walk the most.
People up there dont like the city, they avoid it.
I've known people who have been never been to sydney from
Hill end.
You can actually hear the silence at night .
Takes 3days to start to slow down.
Good pub.
Open fireplaces.

I'm hearing you, I'm hearing you.

For example - go to Brighton Le Sands Beach today Easter Sunday or any beautiful weekend and watch a certain tribe of people out and about. Then watch our shared council rate $$$ being spent just trying to keep up with the maintenance of such a nice picnic area the day afterwards. It's there for us all to enjoy with rubbish bins only 40m away from any point on the beach. I can only assume that the reason why they and others go there is because the like the place however .... watch that race of people destroy it within an 8 hour period with their food/plastics/paper/bottles they bring from their homes and leave without a care in the world expecting our rate $$$ to take up the slack for their backward thinking. Who cares it will be clean for next weekend too so why bother picking up my rubbish it's like magic

Don't even go down the path that they are 1st gen and don't know any better because I see 2nd & 3rd gen with them and they were brought up here in Oz, educated in the same school environment as us so they have no excuses. It simply comes down to what you said above, some customs are simply not needed here and if you don't like it go back to your homeland and take your rubbish with you. I can live without having a Kebab, or having my driveway cemented over, :lol: if that's the only thing you're good for.

Sorry we've really steared off topic here and I'm ranting

Try the apartment block opposite the enterance to Miranda Fair shopping centre carpark.
I used to hear her upstairs all the time and had the enjoyment of the hair from her Alsatian falling and collecting on my verandah.
The best thing though was that we could still read a book after we turned the lights off due to the light spill from the carpark which was open till 1am when the movie theatre closed.
Aah the good old days. How I miss Sydney.

Geeezus. That's close to home. I am a born and bred Shirey.

When you go past Sans Souci you are entering God's Country. There should be a mega giant Aussie flag at the end of Captain Cook's bridge.
