Killarney homes now so expensive even real estate agent living in van

Now that we finally have a decent local hospital, the prices of Killarney Heights homes has shot up such that even successful local real estate agents can't afford to live here.

One agent, who we'll refer to as "Brian", has resorted to living out of a van and is often seen parking in the local Killarney shops.

While the van looks relatively luxurious it's probably not ideal for a chap of his standing.

"Brian" we wish you well and hope that you can earn enough of a commission on each sale to one day save up and buy a real home where you can truely relax and not worry about finding public toilets that can be used as a dump point.

Historic Bini shell building set for upgrade

The beloved Bini shell structure at Killarney Heights Public school - obviously the inspiration for the Sydney Opera House - is slated for an upgrade.

The concrete building has stood the test of time, well, except for a few leaks when it rains, and used to be used as a voting place by local lovers of democracy and Liberals.

The new building bares only a slight resemblance to the original but it's hoped that after a few years the hard edges will wear off and the much loved round shape will emerge.

Presumably it will be fitted out with bright orange light fittings and the conversation pit will be once again put to good use.

Update

The Bini shell is no more. It still exists in the arial view on Apple Maps though, at least for now.

Killarney local proposes solution to indigenous child abuse

Outspoken Killarney Heights local Yvonne has published a detailed proposal in The Australian as follows:

"Yvonne Crane, Killarney Heights, NSW

The horror of indigenous child rape and endemic abuse is now an indelible stain on our national character. Something must be done immediately, no matter what the cost. As far as I can see, the only possible solution is to set up indigenous boarding schools and staff them with highly trained but closely monitored personnel. Let anyone raising the Stolen Generations mantra come up with a better option."

No announcement of where in Killarney Heights the new indigenous boarding school will be situated has been made so far but Killarney drive might be a good spot with a lovely bush and water outlook.
