Shit Town: Deception Bay
Wedged between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and shunned by both, the municipality of Moreton Bay is a cluster of some of Australia’s shittiest suburbs including Caboolture, Morayfield and Strathpine, making it Bogan Voltron. Among its worst components is Deception Bay.
Deception Bay is so named because early British settlers were deceived into thinking it was a place worth living. Incidentally, ‘deception’ also happens to be a portmanteau of the suburb’s two principal pastimes: depression and conception. Populated by a clot of gronks who were pushed out of Brisbane by rising living costs and increased police presence, Depression Bay is a sloppy shit of a suburb that spoils some prime seaside real estate (if you can describe an endless stretch of mud as ‘prime’). Along with Logan and Ipswich to the south, Conception Bay and its mongrel Moreton neighbours ensure that Queensland’s capital is encircled by a metaphorical moat of shit. The suburb regularly makes the news for criminal activity, continually surprising Brisbanites who are usually blissfully unaware that anything exists north of Brighton.
Local attractions in the Deception Bay area include shipwrecks, car wrecks and plenty of pubs with cement floors for hosing the blood off. There are numerous entertainment options, such as spray painting a cock and balls on someone’s car or getting in a fight in a shopping mall with some scumbags in bumbags. Or you could go for a scenic stroll through the decaying housing estates and get beaten up for your shoes. D-Bay’s greatest asset of all is its good sealed roads and easy access to the Bruce Highway, ideal for driving away and never coming back.
