Tenants have neighbours, too. If you are a tenant, and don't mix with the property owners or tenants in your street, you are just another stuck-up like the rest.

I know all my neighbours in the court, and two adjoining ones at the back of my house. I make an effort to welcome new neighbours moving in to my area. I am also a zone leader in the Neighbourhood Watch, dropping NW newsletters in the neighbour mail boxes.

Good neighbourhood is a two-way traffic. Whether you are young, full of grey hair or even bald, go to knock on your neighbours' doors tomorrow first thing in the morning, and give them a great Oz G'Day. You'll be surprised that they are no different from you once - waiting for someone to make the first move!
