Ohhh, precious, Collie—yes, Collie, it's a quirky wee town, it is! Listen, listen, my friend, I'll tells you allrrrr about it, oh yes, yes… Collie (au) is like a hidden gem, a jumbled maze of stories and secrets… nasty, but beautiful, yesss. I’s been living here, reasonin' about families, eh—psychologist stuff, mmm, and every street whispers a tale. We got Main Street—big, bustling Main Street you knows! Yess, that’s where yer find the old Collie Tavern, with its creaky wooden sign, and tiny lanes off it, like Lizard Lane (I think it’s called that, but sss, my brain’s a bit scrambled sometimes, oh precious, oh yes). And then, there’s Fairview Road, the path to the park. How could I forget, precious, yes? The park is a calm here, quiet. Trees whisper secrets, they do, especially on those mad, windy nights when I get all troubled in me head, yess. Oh, and the river! Collie Creek, it’s gurgling, twisting, and turning along the side of town. I once sat its banks, sss, musing on the family dynamics of our little world. Hugely emotional, it was, like when The Grand Budapest Hotel whispered, “Rudeness is simply the expression of fear,” yes, precious, such words echoing everywhere! Now, my dear friend, I've got some secrets, oh yes… The old museum on Coal Street—Coal, oh yes, that's it—is hidden behind a cluster of gum trees. Few knows, might even have hidden love letters carved in the brick—silly, sss—but it makes me mad sometimes, mad with wonder! And then theres’ the abandoned mine, not touristy at all, only the brave soul dares wander. Terrifying, precious, terrifying yet oddly enchanting. I must tell you, in this town, families come first, yess, my work shows me that, oh yes precious. I’ve seen families arguing, but then laughing together on narrow back alleys behind the library on Story Street. I overheard many secrets whispered in that library—a secret almost as majestic as Gustave’s own polite demeanor in The Grand Budapest Hotel, hmm yes, "There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slope of society." Precious phrases that makes me smile. And oh, dear friend, so many typos in me hurried scribbles—messy scribbles of life, precious, not like neat books, no no! Collie has its quirks, like the tiny coffee shop on Maple and Vine. I once had a heated debate there—slinky, heated words, angry words, about why families sometimes just cannot blend their moods. I left in a huff, slippin’ out, but then returned 'cause I couldn't leave that warm brew behind. I gets so many emotions here, yes, a swirl of delight, fury, and hope all tangled up. Streets, parks, mills, and rivers—the textures of our lives—they all speak. Sss, I sometimes feel like a mad storyteller, split personalities chattin' in whispers and hisses, recounting the intricacies of love and mayhem. And err… gosh, pardon the mess: I ratted off like, mmm, nineteen typos, can't count, but so full of character, yes. Collie is not perfect, but diff'rent—and that's what makes it precious, so yes. You must see with your own eyes, precious friend, yes, see every crooked lane and whispering old gum tree, like a scene straight out of a Wes Anderson dream. So yes, come visit, come and listen to the secrets, the hisses, and the stories—just like I do, oh yes… Collie, our precious, quirky home!
