Living the Pottsville dream life

WE’RE DOING the rounds of the Tweed Shire and we are back in beautiful Pottsville, which used to be a retiree’s haven but is now jumping with life and a few more characters.

Bill Potts owned the first house in Pottsville and it was originally called Potts Point, like the posh Sydney suburb, only it wasn’t posh.

The kids who grew up in Pottsville back in the day no doubt look back with fond memories but it’s hard to complain about the great cafes, bars, restaurants, bakeries, shops and community events that have made Potty such a happening place.

detector finding lost wedding rings and more. He also posts morning weather reports online.

Potty has hands down the best neighbourhood centre ever, where you can find all sorts of secondhand goods including clothing, furniture and electricals. They put on the markets as well every first and third Sunday where you can get the freshest fruit, veg and anything else you need or don’t need at all.

When Splendour in the Grass was cancelled, some comedian who has been seen lurking behind the counter in the local bottle-O, decided to promote Bender at the Bask (basketball court) instead. It features bands made up from the most posted Facebook comments like What Day is the Markets on, Who Stole my Son’s Bike, The Grass Tearing Posties and The Finders Keepers ft. Al Davis.

Al is a local legend and marriage saver who can be seen around the beautiful creeks and beaches of Pottsville with his metal

The oft-maligned blow-ins (another Bender act) have started up some fantastic events like the Bridge to Bridge sup race which Robin always wins. She can be seen everywhere, running, swimming, supping, walking, cartwheeling — seriously this lovely local can’t sit still and is an inspiration to young and old. Every few months an amazing crew of talented musos put on Tunes in the Park, with great music, tucker and a chill, family vibe all for a gold coin donation at Ambrose Brown Park. They do it all for free to bring the community together for some entertainment and fun. Someone give these people a grant!

There is always something on at the local hall including the very popular Dallas Linedancers classes with another local legend with a

sense of humour, Debbie Greaves. There are so many fantastic eateries in Pottsville now it’s hard to pick a fave and apart from the revamped bowlo — which has a great outdoor party area and kids space and pumps out hundreds of meals each night which are always top notch — and the tavern, there are some top bar/ restaurants like Baker and Farmer, Pippit and 2 Brothers Cafe, Bar and Grill, plus the best Japanese food at Izakaya Potts and some outstanding cafes. Seriously, you can’t go wrong at any of them. The Pottsville Environmental Park is great for a bike ride, walk and some koala spotting, and then there is the creek, which often features on social media in all its sparkling glory with comments

like, ‘We live in paradise’ and ‘blessed’. Which is slightly annoying but true. We do.

Pottsville was, in 2004, as Seabreeze went in, the fastest growing town in Australia, but fortunately it’s calmed down a bit and the only thing that seems to grow fast now are property prices.

In 2021, Pottsville had a population of 7,209 and at peak pandemic a lot of newcomers came to town and stayed, with home prices reaching eye watering levels along with FOMO.

According to realestate.com data for March, Pottsville had 29 properties available for rent and 50 properties for sale.

Pottsville houses rent out for $850 per week on average and units rent for $650.

last year ranged from $1,263,750, down 2 per cent over the past year, and $900,000, for units, up 1.1 per cent.

That’s a lot, especially for units, although it is down from a 2022 peak of almost $1.5 million for houses, while units peaked at $905,000. They fell to $850,000 a few months later so they are definitely on the rise again.

Sadly, for most of us, the days of $500,000 homes when we should have bought are just a misty, tear-stained memory. It may never be cheap again, but if you have the cash it’s a truly lovely place to live. The rest of us will just have to make the most of coming down to annoy you all there, as you’re basking in the glory of living the Pottsville dream.
