Moccasin City = Bogan Haven
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?

You mean WENDOUREE WEST, Anonymous.
I have been informed from the inside, that some employees of The Fmily Court have written ‘Bi-line-da : The Musical’

The use of “y” as a vowel in name where “i” would do is often a clear sign. Also when “f” is used instead of “ph” and vice versa.

Just a little harsh don’t you think?
You’re writing a slander piece on a woman who has suffered a tragedy and long since left the area and started a new life.
BUT, that said, I do have to agree with the whole Wendouree West thing!
