good advice before buying rural

[sand surfer]

it is not funny and is not meant to be ,
i have personally seen farms shut down for those reasons and for dust, chemical smell, machinery noise
because self entitled people move next door and complain about everything that the sign says and more
if you don't want the conditions of living next door to a farm well don't buy property next door

The tragedy is that a sign like this has to be displayed

that remines me about the rock quarry that used to be in lilydale victoria. it was up and running since the late 1800's then came a housing estate overlooking the quarry, it appears the new estate home owners didn't like the noise. in the end it closed down people lost jobs, but the home owner got there way. so now there's plans to turn the quarry and its surrounding grounds into more housing estate. so at the end of the day who wins?

I know of two race tracks that I have personally raced on that came to the same fate, people buy land/house close to a race track then complain about the noise of race cars, go figure hey

Another good piece of advice is, if like a place enough to move there don't join all the committees and try to change it into the place you came from.

There's a lot of that going on in the small towns in the G.T. Bloody blow ins! Most of them move on eventually though, after they've done their damage.

People buying houses near Railway lines then complaining about the noise. Not sure if they noticed that their house was 100k cheaper than everything else in the area. Ps I am a Train Driver

Yes happened in my area, newbie joined local CFA and within 6 months all long term members had left as a result. Newbie ended up in charge as they wished, but in charge of nothing or no one.

Since the pandemic hit, most rural towns have become like this.

A lot of the time I think it’s city kids who don’t like seeing where their food comes from

Competed as a 'Bomber' racer at Surfers Raceway.... Buy a cheap car, smash all glass out of it, weld in a Scaffold tube roll cage, weld another seatbelt in both sides, there were 2 of us in the car and race with 20 other idiots...... Did pretty good as well.... Cost us about $50 pw to do it.... With 4 of us per team...
Man that was fun and real cheap to do... But then along comes the old Regulators .... Made us have racing belts and real cages.... Things got too expensive and our fun was stopped...

Interesting as I was only talking to an acquaintance on Saturday over dinner about his racing and he informed me that he is doing Endurance racing with three other blokes and they have won 6 races so far and racing again in Sydney over this weekend. New tyres are $200 each and he sells them to drifters for $100 each after the race. New engines about $1,000 and he blew up two in one race and still finished not bad for a bloke that has just turned 82. Cheers.
