Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

Port Lincoln is the only habitable town on the Eyre Peninsula. Actually, that non-habitable zone should also be widened to include Port Pirie. Lincoln is great... the rest of the Eyre Peninsula towns could only be improved by nuking them out of existence.

The rest of them are all towns where they seagulls fly upside down - because the towns aren't even worth shitting on.

** I spent 7 year living on the Eyre Peninsula when I was growing up. I still refer to Ceduna as "Hell" whenever I mention it in everyday conversations.

Well glad I wasn’t “nuked “
With my Dads work we spent almost a year at Wudinna
“ Where the Crows flew backwards to keep the dust outa der eyes “

I’ve only been to Port Lincoln once, and that was 25 years ago. After driving through Port Pirie, Port Augusta and Whyalla to get there, it’s fair to say I had low expectations.

But jeebus, what a beautiful town.

Is it still as picturesque these days?

Very nice place.

And great seafood. N

Geez, that’s a bit miserable..

Whats wrong with elliston. Streaky or coffins?..

All great little towns for a getaway..

Or Tumby, where I lived on the foreshore for 5 years. Paradise, if you like quiet living and light aqua blue crystal clear water.

Were you there between 1977 and 1981?

Coffin Bay is nice, but it's getting expensive up there nowadays.

Its getting expensive everywhere

Genuine question. Let's say I wanted to lose a week just visiting some great regional SA spots - where would you recommend?

You don’t like seafood or things that swim, so Yorke or Eyre prob aren’t for you

Go south, fleurieu down to kangaroo island

 

[Sanders]

Not like Canberra. In Canberra everything is soft and smooth.

Nothing smooth on the cruise. More… “wrinkled”’

Inglis is more of a liability than Carey

Could definitely retire to coffins

Irony being he likes going on cruise ships.

Probably why he doesn’t like those towns, they don’t dock there.

Oh sorry, I thought you said something else.

No, they don’t dock there

How would you trade a pick in the middle of the year? Set a minimum benchmark for it ?

I mean imagine trading with GWS earlier this year thinking you are going to get a top 10 pick.

not sure there'll be much mid season action. It'll be contending teams overpaying for decent depth, but not to the extent of first rounders being used.

Port Elliot
Robe
Beachport (especially Salmon Hole beach)
Eyre Peninsula beaches - so many amazing beaches
Rapid Bay
Hahndorf

Best place between Port Pirie and Lincoln, but I'm biased.

Any of these towns are far better raising a family than living in Adelaide that’s for sure.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I spent heaps of time in my youth travelling all over SA … All of those “yuk” towns mentioned have at least one fun memory for me. Even Pt Aggutta.

I’ve lived all over the place as an adult, overseas and all over Australia. So many similar opinions of what is bad about a place relate to a single incident or experience that set the tone for that individual.

For example … I’ve been in the US, Malaysia, Slovenia, and even spent 6 months in India … it’s all about your experience. US was awesome for me, Malaysia was full of recalcitrants (Paul Keating reference for the oldies), Slovenia was family and vino and amazing, India was a mix of the worst and the incredible.

I get similar comments all the time (like the EP degradation) when people talk about my current home for the last 10 years… Hobart.

You come to realise that it’s a reflection of the individual, not a true reflection of the places. There are great and rubbish people everywhere, which is how my strongest memories of places are formed.

Having said that, I still bite when people put down Tassie. I shouldn’t, I mean some people just don’t rate great food and drink - clean air and water - beautiful coastlines - amazing wilderness - being able to stroll along in life without too much fuss.

The only unquestionable negative I’ve seen down here is we let Cruise ships in. Those people are the worst!!

Inevitably we all will.

Enjoyable read, nice twist too.
