Mackay is a fantastic place to retire to. I have lived here for over 40 years, so I guess I am kind of an expert. By all means, come over to check it out! The mining boom may be over, but the long time locals like it like that. Hopefully our city will return to the picturesque, vibrant and...

ok Highly geared. I'll dig up some numbers and post them later. To those questioning the value of "comfortable' and "rich": To give you an idea of our current lifestyle; We have a pretty nice unit at the Gold Coast where we and our family stay a few times a year-last time for 3 months...

the idea is to give the average punter an idea of an alternative strategy. There is no point in being short and sweet, because that keeps people guessing. Put your feet up, get your head out of the Financial review and read how Jo average can have a fantastic life without dying from a heart...

what kind of numbers are you after?

Hi guy's. I haven't been on for a few years, but thought it was a good time to give an update on my situation, to help get people back on track, just in case they have veered of into the never never,due to the current downturn. As you may know, my main passion is getting young people interested...

Thanks Player. Very interesting to see that most sales were north of the river.

You are not all bad, I know, I know.

ahhhh. the Google link is what was needed! Going back to what I said previously- see how some streets are dry? The blue roofs are in Perkins street. See the main road- the road that leads to our Marina is high and dry on the top right hand corner? That is where my property is situated. a few...

---the flooding occurred in 2008--3 years ago. The Banks and People are over it.

Still trying to figure out where this is, but see how some streets are dry? The highest flood ever, and there are dry areas clearly showing/ Our property is one of those DRY areas. It will have to be the next "once in whatever event" to inundate those properties, if ever. Local knowledge would...

This is how dangerous' perception' and relying on maps and photos can be. You think you know, but realy you don't. Our property DID NOT GET FLOODED.Sorry to put your knowledge to the test DC.

The 2008 floods were a once in whatever year event. Just like the 2010 floods that struck entire Qld, it was an unheard of experience. Many of the lower suburbs were inundated, but even in those suburbs, those on the slightly higher side of the roads escaped any damage. Luckily all of my...

hi tack3 IMO,Marian is sound. Look up all the links to posts about Mackay. Marian is a kind of a suburb, even though it has its own name. Just like Walkerston. Miners love Marian, and it has been consistantly one of the fastest growing areas in the region.It is on the direct route to...

Icarus, you could have given me a kudos for that post! I haven't had one for a while. Harbour side property, fully furnished, walk in walk out, was what they were looking for. I can put you in touch with the Real estate agent, if you need them. Sorry if I out this in the wrong section. i wasn't...

A friend had a property for rent,a few months ago, and placed it in the local 'Pocket trader', as a to let. $380 P/W- PAID $340k for the house.80 calls in the weekend. She could have let it for $400p/w. Just an example. To answer the question as to whether this is all over Mackay BV. Pretty...

Yup-the market has tanked. But, in my opinion, it will be short lived. Reason? We are feeling the after effects of the floods. The GFC didn't hurt too much,but the national doom and gloom has scared people. The floods hurt, in more ways then one. We had a period from December to April, where...
