Kookaburra Park Eco Village

Beautiful tranquil place

Great spot

Beautiful

There are a lot of lovely Gums, and houses are nicely spaced apart for a suburban area (if only further spaced please). The electricity is underground which is a huge bonus and in my opinion the whole of Australia should go underground. Having an abundant wildlife is really nice, especially having no dogs around is another HUGE bonus; wildlife is safe and there are no noisy dogs barking at night (however there are strange bird calls at night, sometimes I am left in doubt as to whether it is an animal or human making nuisance of themselves). Water gets switched off every summer in hot weather, meaning there is NO WATER for the garden, and only tank water for house supply, everyone runs out - so this makes things a little difficult and people tend to get ‘antsy’ about water consumption as there is no set allowance, so there are several greedy and selfish users, who put sprinklers on all day every day. So, water runs out. HUGE NEGATIVE. They should charge for water consumption, it would never run then, and each house does have a water meter. WATER PROBLEMS
There are hoons and loud trucks on the nearby highway as well as the typical social problems in any neighbourhood like theft and harassment. Some of the neighbours are busybodies and follow me around, it’s weird and some of them steal. They steal mail, everyone now has a padlock on their box in the communal locker - there is no mail roadside delivery, only a community locker area for letters only, so, special trip into Gin Gin for mail, it is MOST inconvenient, plus Gin Gin postoffice has ban me from the post office, due to all the theft from the neighbours here, so I have no mail service here. MAIL PROBLEMS - if you rely on good postal service, do not purchase here. Sometimes private couriers deliver, sometimes not – they only deliver to me when one of my neighbours is home – it is their stupid game. There is a notice board in the communal mail area, there seems to be nazis who govern what is posted, something they do not like, is swiftly removed -territorial dog problems, with no one really in charge, so every powertripper wants to be. So not a friendly atmosphere for newcomers. But I believe other areas are worse in these sorts of matters.

No mail delivery available. Residents in a constant war with each other !

Yeah, nah...
