Goodna, Good or bad?

[Young_fella]

Does anyone live there who knows if its actually a rough place or just hype.

I've lived in woodridge before and it wasn't rough at all.

And yet its suppose to be a very bad area. I've also lived in browns plains and there has been 2 killings within the year....

Just want some opinions here guys

Cheers

I caught this fella at Goodna last year.

Just near the boat ramp.

cheers

In da hood I would not launch the boat there and leave my car/trailer abandoned, but I would fish of the bank. I lived in Browns Plains for 21 years and it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be, fair enough there was theft, vandalising, muggings, assaults, armed hold ups and the occasional murder but I felt safe wondering the streets coming back from the pubs at 2 in the morning Its a sh!t hole.

[Young_fella]

hmm, Maybe i get breast implants and hide a gun in my cleavage.... yeah that'll work.

guess i'll suss out the area tomorrow... with a shotgun......... and a lazer sword.

Just make sure you lock your doors and keep your windows wound up.

[fishingnut]

nothing to worry about ! Its the people you least expect turn out to be the bad ones. Where ever you go there will be crime and so on, dont worry about it

Goodna should be fine, living wise, its close to Redbank which is a fairly decent suburb.

I quite like Wacol it has some nice bush around the area.

As far as murders muggings and breaks just make sure your house and garage is secure, like everyone else in Brisbane does.

cheers

Mate it's like anywhere - it's what you make of it. I've been living in Ippy for 10 years now and had lived there for my schools years previously and have no complaints but there are plenty of people that won't go near the place. Have also wandered home from the pub late at night many times with no drama's. If you went looking for trouble I'm sure you will find someone willing to oblige though

[taib]

in all seriousness, Goodna has a mixed bag of people. I used to work at Centrelink there and yes there were some crazies there, literally wanting to kill eachother while waiting in the queues. Ive seen axes, knives and also syringes pulled out. We've had to push the silent alarms and called the cops countless times.

Having said that, there are also some fantastic locals there. Very friendly. Though, some of the houses in the area are nice, modern and very cheap, but i'd be still chainlocking everything!

Having said this, every suburb has its dark side.

Think of what is convenient for you mate.

Cheers,

Yeah i thought it might be a case of one person has trouble then they tell some, who tells someone, then it becomes: "IF YOU LIVE IN GOODNA YOU WILL DIE A TERRIBLE DEATH!"

or

"IF YOU LIVE IN GOODNA YOUR HOUSE WILL GET STOLEN AND EVERYONE WILL COMBUST"

Cheers for the big response again

At least the fishing will be better then the logan river =D

Like previously mentioned Goodna is like anywhere else.My #3 son(16) and 2 of his female friends travell to and from Goodna, from Booval one arvo/evening a week for comtempary dance classes,they have been doing this for the last 2 years and have not had any problems so far.

As for the boat ramp area,I have used this ramp a couple of times and had no problems leaving car and trailer there during daytime,a number of boaties/fisho`s use this ramp regularly with no problems
