I shouldn't be here as I promised myself I wouldn't let BB distract me anymore. So anyway......LOL
I lived in Rocky for two years. We moved for my work which was temporary and when it finished we moved back down to where we are now near Brisbane. There are some things I really like about Rocky and some things I really don't like.
Don't like: The weather. In summer it was so so hot. And we would just watch the storms pass straight over. It seemed to have very little air flow. It sounds like a small thing but it really affected my energy levels. I am not one for air-con but at my work I had special equipment and had to use it for that. And I was really glad of it!!!
The area I lived in: Depot Hill. Very rough. Lots of violence. Cheap rent.
Like: The parks. There are some great parks there. Our favourite was the one at the botanical gardens which is always shaded. But there are others as well. The big pool with the slides is also great for little kids (although needs a bit of maintenance).
The beach: Yeppoon is not far away, and has some great cafes. Emu park is also close.
My mums group: I met an awesome group of mums there and I really really miss them. They were so welcoming.
Soccer: Rocky is great for soccer. I used to play indoor and outdoor futsal. They also have quite a few outdoor teams but they only run with the soccer season while the others run all year. Amazing for fitness and so much fun.
If Rocky had better weather and I got a good job there I would consider living there again.
