I may be in NSW but the Qld border is an hour away by road and we're more influenced by Qld than Syd.

Yep, one of these days the people of northern NSW will see the light and have the QLD border moved south, a hundred Kms or so.

When I moved to South Australia in 1969, I found the beer so bad I gave up drinking it. I have never taken it up again.

Coopers was the worst. I dunno which was next worst, Southwark or West End.



















But I did find out about SA wine! :D :D

VICTORIA--the north east, Wodonga to be exact.

Now, I have lived in various locations - including Lithgow - in NSW and Qld and so what I say is 100% objective.:p

Victoria has it all- 4 glorious seasons - alll the wilderness you could ever want and the rest of the states as fantastic getaway destinations!!

Back in June the wife and I looked out the kitchen windows and saw the snow on the range. We were in the Disco with the hot thermos, warm clothes and dog before you could say "snow!".

At the top of the range we bumped into a 4wd club looking for somewhere to go. It was a mixed group but led by a Defender Extreme (had to admire it naturally, even the wife liked it). They drove the range-top trail. We ended up at Big Badja and took some nice pics.:D

From Safety Bay WA, love the life but wish it could be nearer the High Country.

Come to think of it our economy is going so well we could buy all the other states, put them in our back yard between Wiluna and Halls Creek............... would make the Canning Stock Route a very complex journey:twisted::twisted::twisted:
