For me a ballpark was that Googong is $60,000 to $100,000 cheaper than comparible house and land than Canberra but that likely just the land difference.

Thanks for the calendar. I've found the original and have added the download to the site. I've also added both of the green and recycling nights to the site calendar.

What is the cycle for green waste, recycling and the bins at googong? I'll add them to the community calendar at http://googongcommunity.boards.net/
