It is possible I started before you were born :) Next year I celebrate 20 years since leaving year 12 (in Coffs). Ahhh now I feel old LOL ... Whilst I was born in Macksville and attended high school there for a while we travelled around a fair bit so the only contacts I still have in the area are two elderly ex shop owners at Scotts Head who I call in and see on an ad hoc basis:)
Can't say I got to experience the small town mentality at Macksville itself .. but certainly did in later years at another town I lived in. Now I live in Sydney and whilst its a big town :) I've noticed that gossip and the like still happens when you are part of a smaller 'unique' community :) Guess people are people where ever you go.
Who do I know? ... whilst he isn't somebody I've met :) I have been on his mailing list for years ... Thorfin :)
