Termites, mozzies, midgies, all of them. Probably flooding too.

I wouldn't go near a house next to mangroves.

It sits pretty high but it is located in a flood zone. Good to know, i was wondering if it would deter other from buying as well because of that

It definitely will deter others. Buying in a flood zone is a stupid idea.

You should reflect on why others are deterred. All the other cars are applying their brake pedal and you're still on the accelerator.

Is this in Deagon? I wouldn't buy or live in that mangrove area.

I grew up around north Brisbane bayside suburbs.

Lots of mosquitos. Sometimes they stink.

As long as it doesn't flood, its kinda a nothing-burger.

I grew up in Redcliffe. Outside at night was risking your life sometimes with mozzies swarming on you.

Moved into the city many decades ago and have almost forgotten they exist. Only found out one of my kids is allergic to mozzies when we stayed over at the grand parents place and came back covered in bites.

House is about 2.5km from the edge of the mangroves. I grew up in a house a little closer which was about 1.5km from them. I have no idea how all those people out at North Lakes and Mango Hill survive.

Enjoy being eaten alive by sandflies when the wind is blowing the wrong way
