I posted last night about moving to Wollongong and most aussies said it was a shit place to live and that i'll get my ass kicked. I don't know how much of that is true but I figured i'd give more info about who I am and what i'll be doing there. I'm 30, pretty introverted, in pretty good shape, have strong feelings about politics and don't like it when people banter me. I'll be working at the university there but i'm not sure what to do in the city with my time off.
Is Wollongong really that bad? Or are you aussies just messing with me?
yes, wollongong is that bad, dont go.. Eastern Australia is fucked (with the exception of queensland)
Carter Peterson
Its the Detroit/Chicago of Australia
Leo Ward
It looks great in pictures. The beaches look fantastic. I guess I didn't look too much into the city part
Jackson Scott
>yes, wollongong is that bad, dont go.. Eastern Australia is fucked (with the exception of queensland) Lol this
Caleb Price
Fuck off cunt we don't want anymore Americans here. Woollongong is just full of bogan cunts and loud mouth liberal cunts I went there to visit my friend who was at uni and all I ment were SJWs and shit skins. Move to Bathurst or orange. Kinda rural not too far from the city and fuck all shit skins. You'll get hella bantered at pubs and there's no women there but country life is best life.
David Kelly
>Wollongong I'm sorry to say this but anywhere outside of the state capitals are fucking shit. They're filled with abbos, have little to no employment for natives (how the fuck did a filthy Yank get a job here) and has shit public transport. You'll also need a car as there are great distances between everything.
You fucked up cunt.
Thomas Davis
New york and Paris look amazing according to the pictures
Blake Nelson
This is thread few years old but it's all still true
I go once a week for work there and from what i can tell from my views on it and mates that live down there is that is pretty fucked to live in. Sure they have pros on living there, but more cons. >tl/dr why not just visit china?
Christopher Brooks
I once knew a guy from Wollongong. Lost touch with him after I moved in with my bf though.
Hudson Brown
did i say you can come in this thread you poof
David Miller
Seriously Canada can you just fuck off?
Luis Bailey
>Lost touch with him after I moved in with my bf though. Meh i got nothing against fags unles they are rabit lefties
Sebastian Garcia

Jacob Robinson

Austin Robinson

Kayden Reed
>you'll also need a car kek there are city fags here who cant even drive
Jackson Russell
It's a little embellished. But yes. They're usually abo though not white bogans
Julian Barnes
There are people like that in your country as well, go visit wyoming. Btw no joke, I wanted to live in wyoming because it looked great on paper, then I actually went there and it was full of meth heads.
Gavin Green
Fucking heaps of them. This is an incredibly accurate depiction of Sydney trains stations.
Brody Flores
someone come help continuing this geenral too
Nolan Bell
I mean its a comedic video but its not entirely an exaggeration. People like that do exist. But they aren't niggers so they won't jump you. They usually just stay spaced out in their own world.
John Sullivan
perthfag here, its not that common to find these people but i have seen them, so dont be suprised if you see them
Dylan Ross
Never been there but it sounds good to me. If you were in Sydney you'd have to pay shit loads for rent and spend ages getting to and from work.
Fuckin bogans are usually pretty harmless no one forces you to hang out with them.
At worst you might get a death stare from some retard inbred.
You'll be right you poof.
Xavier Hernandez
fuck off wog
Ryan Lopez
yeah i'm just giving cunts shit, but seriously, east of the dividing range is like a different country
Parker Martinez
Did you fucking call this cunt a poof?! You are scum, absolute haram scum. May Allah curse you a thousand times. You must hope I don't ever find you. You pig loving fuck.
Andrew Hill

Adrian Anderson

Oliver Clark
Almost spot on. Just needs the token abo who walks by saying... "da whi mans took ow lan, dis ow lan, gim dolla cunt"
Carter Scott
>anywhere outside of the state capitals are fucking shit >Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are shit I guess that leaves Hobart as the only habitable place in Australia
Alexander Davis
You know the rules
Brayden Sanders
DIS MAH LAAAAAAND WHITE DAWG
Jace King
It's a fuckin boong name. One thing the abos gave us was a bit of character in our geographical names. Something you wouldn't know about you bland leaf poof.
Henry Taylor
>are there actual people like this in your country?
Everywhere
Zachary Nguyen
Do abbos actually drink gas?
Did Australia actually have to create a new type of gas that abbos wouldn't drink?
Tyler Ramirez
>and don't like it when people banter me You are a fucked. We don't like sooky bums
Nathaniel Campbell
you wont fit in if you're not related to the one family that lives there
Landon Harris
>live on the dividing range >go east >come back with a copy of mein kampf and a deathwish >go west >come back in a neat ass plane with a qt3.14 sucking venom out of my leg >go north >you don't go north mate >go south >你不去南伙伴
Cameron Clark
they sniff it, and yeah NT is the only state that uses it I think
Oliver Taylor
I dunno but yeah petrol sniffing was a thing. Don't know if it still is.
Petrol smells good. If I was mong leaf like you I'd give it a go.
Mason Wood
that's pretty accurate apart from the leg bit, unless you call your cock a third leg
Liam Harris
They sniff it, and Opal fuel is the stuff you're thinking of.
it happened to a mate of mine, he got bitten by a snake and they had to come and pick him up
where abouts are you from?
Grayson Lewis
faggot you live in the greatest country in the world and you want to move out?
fucking pleb
Jace Cox

Luke Thomas

Asher Ramirez
You're gonna get bashed and glassed mate
Bentley Ross
I'm not afraid of a fight. I've fought random assholes before and fucked them up. What makes you think some bogan retard will do any damage to me?
Colton Lopez

Juan Sanders
Nah Perth and Radelaide are ok m8.
Don't come here though, we're full, stay in Vic.
Ethan Wilson
I live in Sydney and its actually very cozy mind the many Asians invading.
Western suburbs are the shit ones mate.
Colton Jackson
yeah we've all been there at some point.
Some cunts dont change.
I am dead set serious there are tonnes of people like this.
James Davis
The Gong is okay. It has some rough elements though. Head up to the Shire if you have transport, its a better place to live.
Elijah Harris
Were I you I would just either live in the blue mountains or somewhere nice in brisbane instead of wollongong. White trash central, the nature is fine but the people are retards.
Lincoln Perez
fuck off cunt cenny coast is hectic
Elijah Martinez
...
Gabriel Rodriguez
Yeah it's pretty crap, though I went there about 10 years ago.
It's famous for being pretty crap though.
Luke Ward
everywhere in the country tbqh
Josiah Hernandez
OP, I'm not Australian but I have been to Wollongong. Here's my opinion on the place... Rough, lots of bogans, lots of unkept properties, shitty cars, abo problems. Yeah the beach looks good but by Australian standards it isn't all that. Its not terrible city by any means, you'll get some good restaurants and cafes, you can walk around downtown without getting hassled, its cheaper than most Australian towns. Plus if you need a city fix, its a quick(ish) train ride into Sydney.
Go, enjoy it. Yep by Australian standards its a fucking dump, but by world standards its half decent. I've been to Cleveland OH, it actually has a few similarities to Wollongong believe it or not. Just not so extreme.
When I was a kid I lived in Gongers, I'm sure I remember the mayor got murdered in his own home. Is this true or an incorrect childhood memory. Can any anons confirm? Sorry to offend you Medicine Hat, Moose Jaw or whatever the fuck your home town is called.
Adam Ross
They're a small minority but they 100% exist
Thomas Howard
>implying it's Australia
Your whole nation is basically a shitty, desert version of Kansas.
Henry Clark
>Some bogan retard Yank, you don't get it. You're not fighting one bloke. You're fighting a bloke and six of his drunk mates. And sure you might be Rambo. You might win. Guess what. Those seven cunts have lived here their whole life, they've got friends and family everywhere, and every single one of them now fucking hates you. And every one of THEIR friends. And all of THEIR friends. Now you're the cunt yank who beat up Travs and the boys for no good reason, and the whole place hates you. You'll eventually resent the place, even if you do keep your face.
And I'm not even getting started on abos. Get a whole tribe of them against whitey without backup, good luck bud.
Tyler James
Ausmerican here, I do hear some bad about it.
Life in aus is like your freshman year of high school except it never ends. You absolutely need to adapt to handling the bantz here. It is seriously an everyday part of life that everyone will take the piss on everyone else.
I was in a work explosion and first thing I got told even before hazard report was "sorry we told them pakis where ya was mate!" "oi get the yank outta here we'll get blown up AGAIN!" etc. Its all in /GOOD FUN/ but you gotta be able to take it.
I live in Brisbane and its kind of a boring place, but the quality of life is superior in aus. Generally if you are an introvert you'll be unmolested.
Something to remember in aus is people MIGHT come up and talk to you or ask how your day is (even in wollongong). I was used to american city life and to me, there's zero reason someone would speak to you unless they wanted something from you or wanted to sell you something (drugs, money, etc etc). People will seriously just ask random strangers how their day is in aus, like its a fucking RPG or the 1950's or something.
Even in wollongong surrounded by bogans you eventually qualify for FREE MEDICAL. I'd choose wollongong over any city in america anyway. Don't let the aussies scare you.
Adam Miller

Hudson Hall
LMAO youre actually moving to WOLLONGONG?!?!? m8 ive just moved from that hellhole of a country, stay in america man, where are you moving from?
Brayden Morgan
That picture's a bloody masterpiece.
Jackson Gomez
it's not just physically everyone here will fuck with you mentally to test your strength. Also dodgy cunts dont fight fair
Justin Nelson
>sorry we told them pakis where ya was mate
Daniel Anderson
>10% of land used >90% still habitable >fuck off we're full >kek
John Jones
Compared to the USA, you have:
>More expensive property unless it's in the middle of the godforsaken outback >No guns >Less job opportunity especially in the technical fields (IT, software engineering, etc) which is basically non-existent there >Out-fucking-rageous prices for cigarettes and other amenities we take for granted >higher cost of living in general
If so I have no idea how you faggots can afford to eat meat.
Ian Stewart
My mate works at the 'Gong University in the languages department, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Noah Carter
When boston marathon happened they confronted me about the missing ball bearings and pressure cooker from the breakroom.
I didn't even know the bombing happened and I came into work and everyone was like "oh well, I can tell YOU didn't have a jog this morning!" No clue what they were on about for an hour.
Then there was how I kept pronouncing Route as "root" and they kept tricking me into saying how hard my root was and did I wanna borrow someone elses root etc. Now I say rowt.
Nicholas Ward
Better question. I am an Ivy League stem fag. White and not weird.
Can I get a high paying job? Is there weed? How expensive is everythjng? How are women? What about guns? How are (((taxes)))?
Josiah Morris
This takes place in a town called Dapto, its the Dapto train station. Dapto is notorious for being the most rough, bogan hellhole with nothing but ice addicts and drunk cunts on the train. I lived about 15 mins away and its nothing like this.
Connor Murphy
I bet hundreds of Newstart dollars went into that shoop
Jackson Bennett
hey srs question here cunts, whats the best colour? i reckon its blue
Andrew Jones
Socal? Where the fuck are you, I used to live in San Diego and Los angeles.
How are you moving here anyways, marriage visa? Student visa? Whats the dealio brother
Adam Lewis
The sad thing is that by now I understand 90% of it, even the cheez tv logo
Isaiah Bailey
how hard was your route mate? hope you didn't make a wrong turn
Lincoln Morales
I live about an hour and a half north of san diego. And I just applied to work overseas and the university in wollongong was the first place to accept me
Owen Perez
Lmao thats where i moved to. Where in SoCal? Ive moved to the conservative safehaven of cali called Newport beach, shits dope if you can afford it.
Ryder Long
I'm moving to Wollongong to beat up every single person in town, twice.
Jonathan Hughes
Good luck, give them one for me you soft cunt.
Easton Wright
How could you not love our banter
Josiah Cooper
>Can I get a high paying job? Not if you aren't Indian and taking payment in chips, IPAs and toilet paper. >Is there weed? Nearly everywhere but it gets cracked down on. Easier to find meth which is fucking disgraceful. >How expensive is everythjng? Very. Especially shipped overseas. Even moreso for alcohol/smokes (think $30US for a 700ml bottle of Jack Daniels) >How are women? Easy, feminazi or both. Otherwise taken (one by me get rekt poofta) >What about guns? Practically illegal >How are (((taxes)))? Cunt's fucked mate, cunt's fucked.
Jace Myers
Its really easy to get a student visa renewed too, and if you like the place, just get married.
Dont let them scare you, even the shittiest abbo parts of aus are still better than LA and south of the 8 in the dego.
You will notice immediately, even in bogansville, that your money goes a long ways in aus and you practically have to try on PURPOSE to fail and become a bum. There's no bums. They all get given centrelink and a neetlife instead.
The accent isn't like on TV.
You will struggle to understand people for the first 3 months cause they kind of "mumble" aside from the accent.
Michael Richardson
Blue is always the best colour unless you're talking about origin or we're facing India in the cricket.
