Tell me about.. Noble Park....

[smiles4u]

Does anyone live here?
Or close?
Im looking at doing a course in that area so i would be spending a bit of time up there....
How far is it from the city?

RR ...Ads grew up in Noble Park until he was 13 then moved to a small country town ... and at 21 he moved in with his Gran in Springvale so he could commute to Uni in Melb and lived with her until he moved with me to Ballarat 5years ago.

I could ask him more details about Noble Park when he gets home tonight

... BUT i have to say i did stay with his Gran many times in Springvale that's not far from Noble Park, and YES IT'S an UNSAFE area, many houses would get robbed around her area. Also i would sometimes catch the train from Parliament after work to Springvale and i can say i never felt safe, sadly i witnessed a few racials taunts on the train, was bloody awful. And Ads was offered to buy drugs on a few occasions along the main shopping strip near the train station in broad daylight.

Negrita is spot on there with that info !!!!!!!!!!!

Are you doing it at a college or at a place like tobin brothers cos i know they run the courses as well.. Did she give your the address cos if she is saying Noble park area.. it may even be up near princes hwy, which is near me and completely safe... just not super easy to get to by train. but I am close by so can give you a ride to the station whenever.

A bit OT but we moved from NP to Springvale and lived there for 13yrs - when we initially moved it was safe, but once the drug culture became really bad, it was quite scary....we used to have cars pull up outside our house and ppl just shoot up or snort whatever they'd just scored then be passed out in their cars for hours until us, or one of the neighbours called the police.... the houses on both sides of us were broken into and my dad was even held up at knife point at an atm in springvale in broad daylight - obviously this was about 7 years ago now and i have not been back to Springvale since so i don't know what it's like now, but living in the heart of it for so many years was enough to put me off going back.

I was thinking the same thing (ie Noble Park "area" covers quite a bit!!)
