Exactly.
We got married in 1980 and lived at Lawnton, 55 minutes by train each way. There is no way we could afford to live in Brisbane anywhere. Even Bald Hills was 30 - 50% more expensive than over the border in Strathpine and Lawnton.
Lawnton in those days was in a 1960s time warp, but North Lakes this week is looking awesome. Yesterday the motorway was closed for a major crash, so I got to drive via Warner (investment no go) Petrie and Kallangur. Thinking of you guys, I noticed that the main street of Kallangur is nice with all the trees, but it is still Anzac Avenue with statues of WW1 soldiers along the street. Would that freak out some younger people?
When you cross the Motorway to North Lakes you definitely enter another time zone. It is actually quite nice, modern with lots of trees, parks and all the modern stuff like traffic flow.
