I grew up in Granville. I loved it, everyone looked out for us kids. My Grandparents lived in the same street as us. We had 5 corner stores, a butcher and a shoe maker. It was different to today because progress happens. I loved the pink house on the hill of The Avenue, my mother said it had a ballroom. It was on a double block then, the garden full of roses. Some of the homes in Granville are to die for now, so beautiful. The TAFE College didn't go all the way down to Elizabeth Street as it does now. There was a public park right along in front of the High School in Mary Street but that has gone. I think it would still be a great place to live.

Boorowa is 1/2 hour from Young and Yass, 45mins to Cowra and just over 1 hour easy drive to Canberra. The area is about 11/2 hours from Wyangalla Dam (90% full) where there are plenty of recreational facilities for fishing, sking, & swimming.

Boorowa has some great shops, antique and wool centre as well as fantastic eating places, great pubs and art and craft centre. Borrowa is always a busy town centre with a great many tourists passing through.

Boorowa has a wonderful hospital, doctor and nurses with physio and emergency department. There is a fantastic aged care facility including villa and hostel accomodation. The schools in Boorowa are excellent with public and catholic education available.

Many people travel to Canberra on a daily basis for work (some car pool). Housing in Boorowa is much cheaper than Canberra with a rural lifestyle thrown in. I wouldn't live anywhere else.
