Woo, Rocklea! Big it up for the four one oh six.
If it looks like rain, avoid the back streets. You'll get flooded in.
Have made it back, all is good. I went to a scrapyard on my way back and drove through a hell hole called Palama. Do you know it ? Big massive houses with roofs 300 mm away from each other. Some of the houses were seriously huge. What a horrible place.
I don't recognise the name, and can't find it in Maps. Is it possible for dreamed up the name?
The description sounds like most housing estates though. 300m² blocks filled with houses that include media rooms and walk in wardrobes so you end up with your house basically rubbing cheeks with your neighbours. Honestly at that point buy a duplex or townhouse. Or even an apartment. It's not like there's any lawn there to worry about.
There's been a few posts on various "dodgy builders exposed" type groups of late about the brickwork between two houses looking rough and there's honestly less than a hands width between. I can only imagine how manky and wet that area is going to get, and how many possums die after getting wedged in there.
Oops it looks like I replied to myself yesterday. It was Palara near Willawong.
Yes they had 300 M2 blocks and also about twice as big. The houses seemed as you said even on the bigger blocks. There are some impressive looking places but like fuck, where are you. I could see a lovely looking balcony and it was right next to the fence right next to the main road that I was driving down. Just a shit location in my eyes.
My bad. Palara near Willawong. Not far from Archerfield airport.
