My home town of Gerringong, which is in the Australian state of New South Wales. Living in a small community is wonderful because everyone knows their neighbours and kids get to grow up right next to the ocean. There is such a great sense of town pride as well. But I no longer live there, although my parents still do. The tourist industry has found our quiet little town and suburbia is moving in. The kids that grew up there and lived there all their lives, my generation, are leaving because of the unfair housing boom. Now the only people who can afford to live there are the residents that were well and truely settled before Gerringong was 'discovered', and the children of those people have to leave because it is only affordable for wealthy retirees or city folk looking for an investment property. This is how the place looked in October last year I wonder if the housing developments have reached the top of that green hill yet... The title of the photo is a famous quote for a television advertisement for the Gerringong Surf Shop - a bit of trivia for you :-)
