    Love love love living in my tourist town! Happy to share it every holiday season with the hoards... Love the vibe the tourists bring. Gorgeous summer days on the beach, twilight BBQs with friends, cafes overlooking the water. Moved here about 8 years ago and have not regretted it.

    hi Tanstar!

    i have done a couple of tourist towns.
    lived in airlie beach (whitsundays ) for 2 years now this is a prodominately tourism run town. which made jobs quite mandane unless you liked hospitality, but we loved the tourists
    always met somewhere from a new place at the pubo n the weekdn with a new story.
    there were local rates so we didnt have to pay as much as those visiting etc but it was wonderful!
    always kept pristine by council !

    now in coffs harbour which again has its influx from southerns and westies for the holidays etc. we are in the surbs here so easily stay out of the touristy side.
    althought i do come in contact with them all the time at work.

    but i found it fun and exciting x
