Gerroa

Gerroa is fun but be ready to do plenty of driving. Yes the Nor'Easters can be great and almost anything with a Westerly direction can be fun too but forget it in a Southerly. For that you will need to drive up to Windang or further.

The other problem is that unless you work from home or start your own business there ain't a whole lot of well paying work. Add to that a 25 minute drive to nearest decent shopping area (sorry but the IGA in Gerringong is more akin to shopping in an overpriced Airport)

On the upside you should be saving plenty of money because you'll be cooking at home pretty much 100% off the time. The dinning options in the area are either crap or overpriced and in some cases both.

I think somewhere further North... perhaps Warilla or even Shellharbour (the beach side town not the suburban sprawl of Shellharbour City Centre can get you closer to both Nor'Easter and Southerly locations.

Well Gerroa's the windiest, but if you want all wind directions covered, lakeside or seaside, never want to drive for more than 10 minutes - maybe start looking at Berkeley.

I went to school at Berkeley, and some areas used to be pretty rough and ready, but I think a lot of that has changed as more people have bought into the area. For access it would be hard to beat.

Not beserkely. Only joking. Everywhere in the gong is good these days.

Everywhere? I did a letterbox drop around Warilla when I was in high school. I don't think I would want to live there, although I guess anywhere can look bad if you don't know the area. It may have changed a lot too.

too many kiters in warilla, and its not the footy team who are the gorillas', its the women
