Ok from what I could find out dirt is about $180.000..is near Hospital and airport and the name of the area is Wondunna(sp)not Wodunda.

Did you have any luck with flappist?

Flappist most certainly does live in Hervey Bay, as does Nicholas and someone else, I'll find out who that other person is. I live up the rd in Maryborough. Are you moving up here or merely investing?

Ray is the name of the other guy in Hervey Bay. There may be others but they don't voice themselves much, so I dont know. Hope this helps!

cheers chaps.
looking at building a house up there for the future, old man goes up there 6mths a year (Vics too cold he reckons) so it will be a holiday/retirement home for the old man initially, then probably look at moving there when I get back from O/s some time in the future.
will look into it more.

cheers again.

I used to live in hervey bay but now in maryborough,never heard of wondunna but hervey bay has exploded in the last two years theres new estates everywhere.

mate be carfull buying sight unseen as there is a brewing court case from residents affected by noise from extended runway and jets coming and going , some blocks close to it are complaining bitterly.
also real estate agents are talking prices up to potential buyers and making owners drop there bottom line but lots of shifty profiteering been going on with some of the real estate people around here,come up and haggle like hell they will give you very good savings for your trip,
cheers Nick

I lived there about 4 yrs ago, my Mum is currently living there still and she said its booming like mad as FJ20ET said...

I havent heard of wondunna either... is it on that road on the way out to the barge?

OLDFORDNUT · 26-11-2005, 04:14 PM

prices have dropped quite a bit in last 3 months .
Wondunna is right behind airport ,which could give you a good bargaining position at the moment.

Which estate?

Wondunna runs across most of the back of Urangan & Torquay. It is flat and can get a bit hot. It also doesn't drain very well.

There are a few up market bits of it and a few povvo so get advice from more than one of the scammers (real estate agents).

PM me your mobile and I will give you a few more details, I have lived here for 38 years and have a bit of an idea what is going on and who is who in the zoo....

well i've bought now actually bought in mariners cove, will be up there just after easter, so if anyone sees me in the green machine, give me a wave!
