I mean this is the nicest possible way, but… you understand that means you’d have to LIVE in Geelong, right?
You cant even go home and take a shower because you’d just be showering IN Geelong.
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.
@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.
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

Haha, I quite like Geelong, but I’m generally in holiday mode when I’m there and that might colour things. Pretty sure they do have showers though!
I reckon since I’m going into all the logistics fairly thoroughly I probably won’t get the job, so it’ll be a non-issue. But we’ll see.
@underwatermagpies @TinyBreak To be fair, it also depends on where in Geelong.
It’s not that bad if you’re in one of the new estates near Torquay or in a new apartment block in the CBD.
Corio on the other hand…
Well…
There’s a good reason why Geelong maybe has a bit of a bad reputation sometimes.
Couldn’t be as bad as living in Rowville.

Ah Rowville, the PTV deadzone of the SE.
Hey! Its not a deadzone per say. The state government just assumed it was a suburb of bus enthusiasts.

You have brought back so many memories 😅😭
Hey, there’s a woollies there too 🤣
Lol, I have vivid memories of the 901 and the smell. Or from FTG Rd the 753 and the 693
shudder
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,
Haha yup it’s… An experience that should not be repeated.
Used to live in Lysterfield, then Rowville, then Knoxfield. Very meh experience.
or shudders dandenong.

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