New to the place, but not that really new (I moved here 3yrs ago from a foreign country) was thinking to explore in town. Curious how does it feels to mingle locals. So was thinking to visit that regent cinema friday night or weekend night that plays live music out there, was it worth it to buy the tickets? What are you thoughts? my partner its not interested at all but just wanted to read your thoughts. Love to support local music.

I cannot put my finger on it… every time I’m down this way it just feels so homely and welcoming, like you just belong there. The long grass, winding roads, the hills and the cute little markets. I’ve lived in suburbia on the GC my whole life, but when I’m working down that way and cruising around it’s just pure, sky-high dopamine and it’s like this internal imbalance just feels corrected. My favourite towns are Tyalgum, The Channon, Dunoon, Main Arm, Lillian Rock & Bangalow. Channon and Bangalow.

The Channon & Bangalow markets are part of the weekend ritual at this point, we always meet the most friendly people there!

But yeah I don’t get the same feeling from anywhere in the Sunny Coast, Brisbane, GC hinterland… Springbrook is special though, as is Mt. Barney.

What do you guys think and what brought you here?
