Suburbs around Woodberry:
Thornton Millers Forest Heatherbrae
Thornton Woodberry Tomago
Beresfield Tarro Tarro, Tomago

It lies to the west of the Hunter River, 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi) of which forms the suburb's eastern border, separating it from Heatherbrae and Tomago in the Port Stephens local government area. It is connected by road to the adjoining suburbs of Millers Forest, Beresfield and Tarro. Much of Woodberry is low-lying floodplain and when the Hunter River floods the roads to Millers Forest and Tarro sometimes becomes impassable. However, the residential area is elevated and access to Beresfield remains available.

gollark: Okay, I just found another way to get (very small) amounts of money which a bot could trivially do in a loop or something. If this is deemed an issue there'll inevitably be a hacky "fix" for it, but the system is fundamentally broken.
gollark: Also, bots wouldn't actually be an issue with a better designed system which requires thinking. Which, to be fair, this sort of does, except for the fact that the *only* way to get money is probably to check the prices constantly, which bots do well.
gollark: The old bot source is up. Someone could run a new subreddit with the old bot or something.
gollark: It seems a very weird system.
gollark: And generally for you to profit someone has to lose. Which is not quite the case in reality - stocks pay dividends.
