This is set out in the western suburbs of Sydney around Mt Druitt where its common to have housing commission area and people like this.

[@blast3613]

We got heaps of em in WA too, they move them around different Suburbs in Free Housing. This drives the areas property prices down until they're bought up for redevelopment and so on and so on. I was one😁

[@nobodysbusiness566]

It was filmed around Merrylands (when Frankie bought the car) thats Merrylands auso I obought cars there, when he is beging chased by the cops that is Ferndell street South Granville I think their on the old Acrow Steel building, cnat remember for sure what that used to be. THe shop scene was filmed on victoria rod Rydalmere. none of hte show was filmed anywhere near Mt druitt. The house is in Villawood. I grew up in that area it was never as bad as this show shows though. I think Frankie grew up not far from there as well as he knows the cnaals, we used to get around using the canals. He knows too much not to be a local.

[@krisnick92]

Trust me.this shit is nation wide. Especially up here in qld

On the other side of the footbridge is Smithfield RSL and St Gertrude's primary school. They also filmed on the street, right outside our backyard. I saw them filming with my own eyes. The pub is the Brown Jug Inn at Fairfield Heights.

I just found you! You may not know, that nearly every other character, besides the main cast, are all quite famous Australians. This adds to the comedy. Ever heard of the band 'Rose Tattoo'? The narrator is an Australian legend.

Fat Pizza was a big starter for our boy Paul Fenech and was used to grow the rest but Housos comes after Fat Pizza when all the legends who made fat pizza had furth established themselves and honed their arts. Paul Fenech is an australian hero.

Just realised, that wheelbarrow trip was filmed on Gt Western highway, near the houso land of Mt Druitt.

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Yes yelling is pretty much the norm here in Australia mate not always but it is common I use to live with neighbours with an environment like that where people who just constantly yell but this show is pretty much the satire of that.

Nah mt Druitt is exactly like this

[@MissMahnae]

Not with decent people But uneducated, single mothers, unemployed, drug fucked scum bags yes it is common

[@drowningblonde]

I love Houso's, it reminds me of the town i grew up in called Blacktown in Western Sydney, We're called Westies. I no longer live there but these are still my people. "You can take the girl out of Blacktown, but you can't take Blacktown outta the girl".

[@phil2112]

There is nothing more exciting than a gentrified westie/bogan who, after years of hard work trying to escape the stigma, gets provoked to being fully angry, resulting in them gloriously reverting to their traditional ways in somewhere like Bondi :)

[@phillcc8524]

there were 4 seasons and a total of 30 episodes , all crazy chaotic like this !

[@floorruglara]

First time seeing this channel, so I haven't seen your reaction to S1 E1 (I'll look for it though). I live in a more quiet area, in a whole different state, and sadly the neighbourhood is similar (I grew up here, had to move back a few years ago), waking up to the sound of someone next door swearing their house down cos someone is a (insert nice choice of words here) at 4:00AM is still fairly common. About two weeks ago, it started at like 4 in the morning, over a stolen bicycle, we went to go get food and other shopping later that evening, got back at about 8PM and there were still abuses and accusations being thrown around about a bike. You're right, it's a wonder they don't lose their voice. Also with the thing of never accepting help from the cops, that kinda depends on the area.

[@ahh_ay_Soul]

I am from Australia and i grew up around people like them and myself i lived in Housos. It got so crazy there that my Mum Ex parnter burnt down the Housos because he thought it would be funny.

You must be talking about Shazza. She is smoking hot in real life, her name is Elle Dawe.

[@ErinFromSydney]

This was on SBS, from memory. Free to air TV anyway. They showed a lot of controversial TV shows around the turn of the century. This one was satirical but there were other ones that more documentary style and were seen to be taking advantage of the subjects of the show. It was also said that the subjects of the documentary show (I wish I could remember what it was called) were given misleading information and were humiliated on TV. This show, however, was always intended to be a caricature and not to be taken too seriously. But SBS in particular went there around this time and didn’t shy away.

if you go out west to feral territory that's how they speak.

I had a look in Google Earth when at Maccas their on Parramatta Road Auburn, the Doughnut store is Krispy Keme, that wasn't there when I lived in the area. Auburn Macca's is where all the young hooligans with pimped out cars would meet up and we would go drag racing (illegally) in Carter Street Lidcombe not far from there. Hahah. I see now that Maccas must have sold off their carpark (probably to get rid of the hooligans) and sold it to Krispy Kreme, as McDonalds once had that whole corner, now they only have part of it.
