Thread 513266597

With a few years of hard work and saving you could easily buy a cheap rural property and live out your self-sufficient anti-consumerist tradlarp dreams. What's stopping you?

Who wants to live at the arsehole of the world?

90% of lifestyle arguments today are "Why aren't you willing to work 10x harder for what your grandparents got for 1/10th the effort?"

have you ever seen the movie 'Wolf Creek' ?

>>513266597 (OP)
Do you need to smoke meth to live there? It looks like a Schizo town with the entire economy being welfare and drugs.

>>513266655
Wasn't that a Documentary?

>>513266597 (OP)
>footy oval is gravel
there is no bigger red flag and the town is populated entirely by psychopaths

>>513266597 (OP)
I got one of those tiny houses

More like a horror movie. Is it accurate that there's 60k kidnappings a year in Australia ? If so I think I just found out where some of them get taken to

>>513266597 (OP)

>side armor falling off

I mean in principle it is a solid design ...

>>513266790
Heaps more schizos do amphetamines and murder each other cos of cool voices in their heads and delusions than the news ever reports. I don't know much about kidnappings.

>>513266746
what's a footy oval ?

>>513266648
Your grandparents didn't live in 2 story air-conditioned McMansions. They consumed a fraction of what people do today. You could easily live like them.

>>513266955
A designated flat sports ground where people play football, either rugby league, rugby union or australian rules football. So playing contact sports on a ground made of gravel is definitely a red flag for psychopaths.

>>513267035
how do you know they're playing rugby on gravel though ?

>>513267000
right that's why my dad has a Jaguar in the driveway, a beater car, a motorhome and a 4 story paid off house while my sister and I ate ramen noodles and jamaican paties every day to survive until we established ourselves.

>>513267087
I don't. I'm just assuming that other guy is telling the truth. Nobody lies on the internet, especially 4chan.

>>513266955
its the bit of grass you play footy on
queenstown plays footy on rocks instead of grass. they are mentally ill.

>>513266597 (OP)
>why wouldn't you drive 5 hours to your job every day for the rest of your life?
you should try it
3 days of that and it's enough for you to say fuck it and sleep out of ypur car at the company's parking lot

>>513267141
Well either way it's easy to tell that anybody that lives in that town that OP posted is a psycopath regardless.

>>513266597 (OP)
The rural meme needs to die. Ruraloids are mostly drug addicts and they're all fat. It's something romanticized by people who've never lived there

>>513267165
wtf how big are rugby fields lol ? It's like a marathon against people trying to kill you

>>513267087
>>513267141
this is the oval in queenstown. its a heritage listed field of rocks.

>>513267236
the MCG is about 175m end to end, players rack up 15km running per game at the high end.

oh it's not that much bigger than a football field (100 yards)

>>513267236
na it's AFL
different to rugby ie it's free flowing not limited to downs etc.
Closer to soccer in nature but full contact is allowed, catching the ball over a certain distance from a kick warrants a stoppage etc
a lot more running

>>513267355
>>513267236
actually now that I think about it, it's like they rolled basketball hockey soccer and rugby into one sport and gave them 3 places to shoot instead of 1
(the center is worth 6 points and the two outer are worth 1)

>>513267319
>>513267355
Interesting, never realized the significant level of fitness required. I always for some reason imagined rugby as a tiny field with ranks of people just beating the shit out of eachother and using a ball to simply mark the location of the next faceoff

>>513267346

Anglos ... can´t they just use normal units like AU?

>>513267512
I'm a shooter also so I'm all over the place.

>>513266680
People don't move to western Tasmania, they end up there. Whether its because you are a miner that has been kicked off site everywhere on the mainland, are some hippy alternative type whose whole lifestyle goes against the grain, or your parents are brother and sister, there has something seriously wrong going on in your life to end up there.

Civilised people make it to Hobart or Launceston, realise Tasmania is shit and flee back to mainland Australia as soon as possible.

>>513267480
that is a pretty good description of rugby

>>513267000
Absolute fucking bullshit. The house they got for under 40k in manly is nearing ten figures you disingenuous retard.
>just go live in an asbestos shack in the middle of nowhere. Just pull money out your ass and larp as a caveman bro!

>>513267480
Yeah that about sums up rugby union. They pack into a scrum and start trying to punch each other and stomp on anyone that falls over. Rugby League is just people sprinting into each other really hard. Australian Rules Football is quite different to these two. It's like tall lanky dudes trying to kick a ball through some posts in between sprinting around and sometimes they jump on each others backs to get higher to catch the ball.

>>513267480
that is pretty close to what rugby is
AFL is a bit different

>>513267000
My dad brags daily about his 3 pensions (401k, Fed, and defined contribution). He owns 2 houses and they are modern homes, not 70s trailers. Boomers sold our futures to foreign nations to give themselves a nice retirement lot. My dad will spend every last penny of his money to desperately grasp onto one more second of life and I will gleefully watch him be abused by niggers in the care facility when he runs out of money.

lmao what a shithole. God only knows what happens on this airstrip

>>513266597 (OP)
I can't even get that for 100k here. Closest is 120k for a home about ready to collapse if a gust of wind hits it. I'd arguably be better off buying a plot of land and building a home if there weren't a ton of red tape to clear to put anything on it and get it zoned.

>>513267617
>(401k, Fed, and defined contribution).
Defined benefit* excuse me. Something unheard of nowadays

>>513266597 (OP)
Who says I don't? I'll soon take over my deceased grandparents' farm. Just have to buy my aunt's share. Then put in three flats for tourists into one of the two houses (it's one of those setups with one house for the farmer's family, and one for their parents, but mine live somewhere else), and I'll be able to get out of the rat race by 35, or 40 at the very latest.

>>513267319
>Nah bro that's just a poorly maintained oval, nobody would be stupid enough to actually try to play AFL on gravel.
>Read the wiki article about it.
What the fuck? Tasmania is probably the easiest state to grow grass in too.

>>513266597 (OP)
what's cozy about not having wi dow panes..?

wowee a public swimming pool AND a skatepark AND a wall to express yourself artistically on. The 4 teenagers that live there must totally not stick out when they buy spraypaint at the local shop

>>513267617
My only regret is that by the time he's being abused in the nursing home he won't have the mental wherewithal to understand the results of his actions.

>>513267852
you can feed the emus when they poke their heads through your window in the middle of the night. It's very intimate

>>513267000
>You could easily live like them.
IN A FUCKING HOUSE I OWNED AND PAID OFF IN 3 YEARS CUNT?

rocks on the sewer lids of course, to prevent the undead from rising or alligators or chuds... or Cthulhu you know whatever

>>513267674
Its an old copper mining town. When I visited the place smelt of sulphur.

>>513268090
> there was a slight smell of sulfur when I went to visit hell
I wonder why

I did this a couple years ago. There are days when I think its the most beautiful place I have ever seen and I'm insanely lucky just to live here. Then there are days when I would fucking kill to have literally anything more than sonic or gas station pizza within a 40 minute drive. The nearest "town" has a population of 28. Really thats the biggest downside i have run into, there is no "run to the store real quick" if you need something its going to be atleast 3 hours of your life gone.

let's goto makeout point and admire the sheet metal

this person has a refrigerator on their front porch. This place is like a mix of the American South + Some village in the Yukon territories... It's like Australian Eskimos.. But in desert climate

>>513267208
It’s romanticized by people who are only 60% racist, and they are too scared to think about what actually needs to be done.

Urban areas have been, and will always be the centers of power and wealth.

>>513266597 (OP)
Because for 90k dollars I can just build a new house.

oh dear... what happens here ? Is there like a village ritual that takes place at midnight ?

>>513267000
Fuck you
My grandparents owned a house with a garden so big they turned half of it into a fruit farm
It was bought with some redundancy money a company paid out shortly after WWII ended
My parents live in a victorian house with a basement and three floors that they bought in 2001 for like £40,000
Meanwhile a shitty two bedroom house in a soulless newbuild suburb with barely any garden and definitely no arable land as the dirt is filled with rocks and buried hardcore waste wants a £20,000 downpayment just to get a mortage for it
I'm expected to pay more for fucking less
No

>>513267534
I have been there as a tourist for 3 month. Was quite nice. Especially if you are into hiking and geology/minerals. But I get why I don't want to live there especially if you still have to get a job. I would go there for retirement.

>>513268628
A cool wine aunt lives there anon, when she's not jetting off on another overseas vacation.

ahh found the neighbourhood vet... He's 'seen some things maaaaan'

>>513268799
what for real ? that house specifically ?

>>513268845
canada looks exactly like this only snowy

>>513266597 (OP)
I bought a cheap one bedroom apartment relatively close to the city instead.

hey wait a sec, do Australians not put numerical addresses on their houses is that why everyone has their name hanging in front of their house ?

>>513268940
asian detected

There's a certain point (here anyway) where it becomes a better idea to live in a van than to live in a run down small house.
The house still has all the council taxes, extortionate water and electricity prices, and all that shite regardless of its condition or location.
You can buy and deck out a van to a good standard with everything and all tech for <£10k and not pay taxes.

>>513268845
Yes.
>>513268980
>numerical addresses on their houses
That goes on the letterbox, and/or wheelie bin.

Does everyone in Australia know eachother ?
Do I just write a letter to 'John by the lake' ? OY Prime MINISTAH ? You headed by the lake today ? Can you bring Mary her mail ?

>>513269099
lmao I just noticed the toilet planters I cannot believe I missed that... where did this person find all those toilets lol This place is incredible

>>513267000
too bad im also not living in a 2 story mcmansion.
>uh UHMM you have 10 yachts bro and i dont
WHATS THAT FOR A RETARDED ARGUMENT YOU DUMB CHILD

when you're done buying lawn ornaments, enjoy a night banging your favorite aboriginal prostitute at our 15$ an hour inn !

not a person in the streets, everyone is hiding from the google streetview car from behind their curtains lol

is this a place of business or someone's house ?

that's the beer fridge. do canadians not have a beer fridge?

>>513269454
good news, all tasmanian abos were exterminated in the 1800's

>>513269799
No if I left a fridge full of beer outside it would probably result in multiple shootings by the end of the day.

ohhh this is the posh part of the village, where the bigwigs stay even

>>513269889
your neighbours must really hate beer

>>513270062
Well I actually live in a 21 story building in the middle of downtown so.. I was talking more about the low trust aspect of western society. You can't leave 'valuables' outside

>>513269257
that grass is too green to be Australia

ohhh this is where the mayor must live, you can tell from the heightenned security measures

>>513266597 (OP)
Shacks like that are not worth saving.

The property has negative land value, because it needs to be bulldozed off and cleaned up.

>>513270335
> memeflag jew sees a house
> first instinct is to bulldoze it
flag checks out

>>513268058
Fuck. So that's where I left my rocks.

windows are a very expensive commodity in Tasmania

>>513266648
Thanks jews
Very cool!

>>513270367
You must be indian.
I know your housing situation is dire over there in New India, but gypsy shantytowns are unlivable places for any normal person.

>>513269257
Australia is like a big country town. If you don't know someone, you probably know someone who does know that person. Even in a city people gossip and use social media so hard that you run into people who know who you are when you have no idea who they are. It's kinda creepy.

>>513270573
First of all I'm joking memeflaggot. Second they have electricity so it's technically 1 level above shanty. Also who gives a shit these people have built lives there, what exactly is bulldozing that property going to accomplish ? By that logic you should just raze the whole island

>>513270605
yet there's like 30 million of you. I wonder if it's because you're enclosed in an island. Whereas us being only 10 million more of you I guess are more spread out

>>513266597 (OP)
Meanwhile boomers could get a full on house with that amount of money back then. Now we can only get broken down rotting storage shacks. I hate boomers so much its fucking unreal.

>>513269799
Nah, it's either so cold you can leave your drinks in the backyard or average to hot and they drink their beer at room temperature. For whatever reason it's minus 30 outside but every single diner will serve you free unlimited cold water with icecubes. Well, it was in the 90s mind you so I'm sure this world is gone by now except most rural places.

>>513266597 (OP)
That's literally a shithole, I wouldn't work one single hour for this piece of crap.

>>513270760
How is electricity even a rarity...
I meant you're better off building your own house on an empty plot, than trying to fix a falling apart cardboard shack. That property has negative value, because it's cheaper to start off with nothing, than with a dangerous unliveable dumpster with near zero land value.

I was disagreeing with OP's idea that buying property like that is a viable way of becoming a self-sufficient ruralite.

One major issue with housing in Australia is that you have to pay top-dollar to live around decent people. You can live in the outer suburbs but you'll have recent immigrants and the layer of entrenched povery that makes life worse for everyone unfortunate to be around them.

But regional australians make outer suburbs Australia look like Japan. I have family that live in regional australia and I have heard enough to know that you should avoid being anywhere near them.

>>513266597 (OP)
save to buy land outside of zoning restrictions
start zog free white zones

Agree, very nice hiking trails out there. But you can go hiking in rural Victoria and have a much nicer experience.
