    Are these boots considered 'bogan' or chic? Fashion fans say their piece!

    Great versatile footwear and warm to boot ( yes, a deliberate pun). The answer, is yes bogan and they can be super stylist if worn with clothing that "works". At a certain age, function come before fashion, though may partner won't let me out of the house wearing them lol 😆.

    Yes, there is lots of empty buildings owned by governments across the three sectors. My partner and I often comment on the disused buildings in the CBD of Ipswich, Queensland. Sure, there are issues of OH&S, proper amenities and security. These issues are easily fixed in the scheme of things...
