Tell me about.. Noble Park....

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

I lived in Noble Park for 6 years.... when we lived there is was quite safe (well except when "mad max" when on his shooting rampage in the early eighties) we moved not longer after that happened...my grandpa still lives there and he said it has become very unsafe with a large "gang culture". He says there was (and still is) a big influx of refugees from various countries being "dumped" there (his words not mine!) which is creating the ethnic "hate"...

as for travel time, its a fair hike from the city to be doing a daily commute, but you'd be looking at about 45mins+ and thats if the trains are running on time!

Hmmm.. thanks for that info Negrita....

another thing to look at too is if you are commuting you will also be looking at spending up to $50 a week on train fairs, unless you are a concession. If you are only travelling into the suburb to and from study then you should be safe, however be careful around the station at night as nigrita is correct there are a lot of gangs in the area. Unfortunately dandenong, springvale and noble park have become high in gang activity. But also this means in the heart of the suburb there is high police patrol as well.. I don't go into springvale very often as i am closer to mulgrave but when i do i often see police and i feel safe during the day. I just wouldn't walk around the station for tooo long at night or the immediate streets surrounding it.

RR where abouts are you going to be studying? is it Chisholm?

[Muffy]

Im not 100% sure, the lady on the phone said the closest course to me was in the 'Noble Park Area'

[Pandora]

whast the course name? If its a t a tafe it should be easy to find. Maybe the closest course to you isnt the best, maybe the second closest one is only 5 mins further but in another direction.

Noble Park is becoming very unsafe & i agree with everything posted by Negrita & Mrs Hendo.
If you plan to travel by train, then you should keep in mind that train line is becoming one of the un-safest to travel on.
