Moe, Victoria, is bogan town.  Probably best known in recent years for the Jaidyn Leskie murder.

I noticed this picture and the accompanying story yesterday, and the thought “bogans” leapt off the screen at me.

Let me list the boganiffic qualities of this saga:

• names like Bilynda, Kadee, Harley, Breehanna
• nice flannelette shirts
• the almost incestuous relationships going on, in particular the father of Jaidyn (another good bogan name) being the former husband of his mother’s sister
• women having x children by x different fathers
• almost universal unemployment amongst the key people
• drinking and drugs
• petty criminal records for many of those involved
• Jaidyn’s mother being out on the piss the night of his murder and leaving her baby with her no-hoper boyfriend
• stuff like people working on cars in their yards (I can just picture the old cars cluttering the yards) and having a pet pig.

Could we get a better example of the life of a bogan?
