Couldn't be as bad as living in Rowville.

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Ah Rowville, the PTV deadzone of the SE.

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 points 7 months ago

Hey! Its not a deadzone per say. The state government just assumed it was a suburb of bus enthusiasts.

@TinyBreak @StudChud Many years ago I dated a girl who lived in Rowville, and I can confirm there's plenty to do there.

You can choose whether you want to go to the Coles or the Kmart at Stud Park Shopping Centre. Maybe both?

Or you can wait and wait in a traffic jam on Stud Road.
Or wait and wait in a traffic jam on Wellington Road.
Or wait and wait in a traffic jam on Kelletts Road.
Or wait and wait for the bus to Knox and Ringwood.
Or wait and wait for the bus to Dandenong.
Or wait and wait for the bus to Glen Waverley.
Or wait and wait for the bus to Boronia.
Or wait and wait for the bus to Caulfield.

Stud Rd, Wellington Rd, Kelletts Rd

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Lol, I have vivid memories of the 901 and the smell. Or from FTG Rd the 753 and the 693

I stayed in rowville for over a month once, made me really appreciate living downtown

and I would rather live in a real country town than rowville,

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Haha yup it's... An experience that should not be repeated.

Used to live in Lysterfield, then Rowville, then Knoxfield. Very meh experience.

[-] Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 5 points 7 months ago

Wasn’t that bad unless you need a train. Safe area, plenty of shops, not far from Knox or Monash or east link. Fairly quiet. Lived there for many years.

Boronia, and back in the day Bayswater too

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 7 months ago

hit the jackpot, we've named every suburb my MIL has chosen to live in ( except corio ) ( against everyone telling her it's a bad idea )

and she wonders why her neighbourhoods are shit, she has crappy neighbours, there is nothing to do and no where to go and nothing to look at. She complains rich people always live in nice places. ffs, she could have chosen a lot of better places that aren't necessarily expensive

[-] just_kitten@aussie.zone 3 points 7 months ago

Bayswater really has freshened up from what I hear. Amazing food
