IT JUST might be the most uncaring neighbourhood in Australia.
Some residents of Doonan, near Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, are protesting against a small hospice for the terminally ill being set up in the semi-rural area, The Sunday Mail reports.
They say they don't want death on their doorstep, and have asked its council to block a plan to turn a four-bedroom cottage into a free hospice.
"I don't want to be sitting there saying, 'There goes another coffin, and another, and another'," said Ron Klieger, whose living room faces the driveway of the hospice.
Deborah McGovan, a palliative care nurse who lives in the street where the hospice is planned - Redwood Rd - said she supports the concept but doesn't want a hospice in her neighbourhood.

BEIJING — Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand — and pushed him off the ledge.
Chen fell 26 feet onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday.
The passer-by, 66-year-old Lai Jiansheng, had been fed up with what he called Chen's "selfish activity," Xinhua said. Traffic around the Haizhu bridge in the city of Guangzhou had been backed up for five hours and police had cordoned off the area.

A MAN was caught having sex while driving because he and his girlfriend could not wait until they reached their destination, a court has heard.
Bradley Dean Milne, 33, was charged with not wearing his seatbelt, driving without due care and drink-driving when a witness called police after seeing his car swerving all over the road, The Northern Territory News reports.
Darwin Magistrates Court heard that the couple were planning to drive to East Arm Wharf in the Mazda ute to have sex.
Police prosecutor Leigh Cahill said Milne "became aroused" and the woman gave him oral sex while he was driving.
Milne was swerving from one side of the road to the other until the car stopped at traffic lights.
When they turned right onto Berrimah Rd, the woman straddled Milne while he kept driving, swerving into the kerbside and back into the middle lane.
