Photo curtasy of Google Maps

If your anything like me and have no idea about Dinmore, then fear not. Above this paragraph is a snippet of a map fetched from Google maps. It shows that Dinmore is a smallish suburb located south west of the CBD, and closely north east from Ipswich.

My opinion on why Dinmore may be one of the worst places to buy property in Australia

Based completely from my analysis of this map, I’ve come to somewhat a conclusion as to why this town was voted in this way…

It’s extremely close to the highway and 2 major roads = major traffic levels

Not only driving to and back from work may be a pain, but also the noise level would be amazing. Dinmore had found itself surrounded on 3 sides with constant traffic travelling in and out of Brisbane.

Located on the outskirts of both Brisbane & Ipswich = High buying prices?

As Lauren just explained in her previous article, Dinmore’s prices are surprisingly high for somewhere that isn’t close to any inner-city districts. If the prices were lowered in consideration of their circumstances I’m sure that their reputation would definitely heal.

Dinmore is located on the border of Ipswich City Council & BCC = Possibility of land misunderstandings?

Now this isn’t an argument, but isn’t it interesting how Dinmore is placed on the outside of both councils and it’s also been claimed as the worst place to buy? This seems a little strange to me…

If your visiting Dinmore and/or live there, we’d love to get some definite feedback as to what the situation out there is and maybe some photos to go along with your opinion…..

Dinmore, Brisbane has been revealed today as one of 13 worst places to buy property in Australia. I have never been to Dinmore but convinced that a suburb of Brisbane cannot possibly be one of the worst in Australia. Is Dinmore a lost cause or should we save its reputation?

A Google search offered houses still in the middle $200K… that’s a plus, I can’t remember the last time I saw a 3 bedroom home under $300K.  There is an abundance of jobs advertised for the area, so if you are looking for a job and an affordable home, Dinmore looks like the place to be. Other then home listings and jobs I am at a dead-end on what Dinmore has to offer.  I am tempted to drive out there this weekend to investigate.

Do you live in Dinmore or have you been there? Does it live up to its reputation?

Maybe that age old no news is bad news is true, I have taken a sudden interest in the Suburb, am writing a blog and even considering visiting Dinmore…

CALEB was released just two days ago on YouTube. According to fallenrosemedia, who produced the movie, it was

Filmed in Brisbane, Australia with a zero budget and in 2 days.

It’s a 22-minute film, and the producers say:

Over six months of secrets and lies, Caleb, Matthew, Dione and Charlotte’s lives became inexplicably intertwined. Told in a unique style and shrouded in mystery, C A L E B presents the lives of four young adults with seriously twisted lives.

Adult Themes, as they say, so this one probably isn’t for the under-16s.

The stars of the film are Matthew Backer, Julyan Stephens, Lozen McDairmid and Lauren Edwards.
