Metal dive bar, nearly 50 beers to choose from, 10 minute walk from home. Yep!

I rate finishing the break strong.
Played 9 at West Lakes Thursday, probably join on, couple of frothies at the Woodshed.
Few with mates Friday, couple at the Woodshed.
Daughters outlaws last night here for dinner, good people.
Brekky with Mrs Boon this morning, lad and I hit a pool hall for a few games, Woodshed for two froths, just mowed and swam with a Fat Yak about to crumble.
Reality tomorrow. Good times the last 4 days.

All you guys should try living in Moonta, terrible place to be
Had my miners cottage in the main part of the town for about 12 years now, 2 minute walk to the footy club for tea on a Friday night, easy walk to the town, blah blah blah.
Seriously though, moved here about 2 years ago and was always going to end up living here, just a seperation from the wife forced my hand a little quicker than anticipated, kids come up when they can, I'm not missing out on anything.
It's a no brainer, you can sell in Adelaide, get your $700k plus and buy up here the equivalnt for $450k, won't last much longer though, prices are on the up.

We dont have the luxury of being beach side but living regionally i could never ever live back in the burbs unless i desperately needed employment that could only be done there.
Regional lifestyle is just too good for the kids and myself. Like you said we honestly dont miss out on anything.....30 minutes at most north/south/east to an IGA, Foodland, Woolworths. Clare has plenty of great eateries so if we want to go out and dine then that's fine.
5 minute walk to pub and sports hub. $300k 3 bedrooms, triple garage, 2.5 hectares. Life is good.

Got up to Pt Hughes for 9 holes - left Turton with hoodies and the heater on in the car only to play in 34 degrees then back to Turton and freezing again
Went for a surf yesterday as the storm hit the coast, great to see people back in the water over there but understandably still a bit nervous.
Came home via Maitland > Clifton for something different last night, magnificent country through there, cant wait to get back.
Love Yorkes cant wait to retire there in 2025

We’re over there in a fortnight, staying at Stansbury for a week. Will catch up for lunch with a mate who’s retired in Turton, take the kids to the water park at Moonta Bay, have a round at the Dunes & go crabbing & squidding. Can’t wait, work has turned to shit, just had Covid again - need a break.

Id love to retire over there, but the biggest issue is which town to retire in, there are too many that I love!

What are the schools like for the kids mate?
I guess that’s a big deterrent for most as regional schools aren’t as good.
Or are they?
