And because of days like today, where its a balmy 10 degrees and raining, you still have another 10 hrs of sunlight to go so may have an afternoon window to get some stuff done.

Jc, let me know when you find a nice place, I could leave tomorrow, its the family that I'll have trouble convincing.:(

Forgot to mention, must be at the beach, miss living near the beach, and must be swimmable.

Do you like swimming in cages Vern?
The warmer the climate, the more inhospitable the sea is---:(

That far north,you would have to share your beach space with the local snapping handbags,and the box jellyfish,far safer to have a home swimming pool.

I will check the water temp if you like. Bit cold for me but the dog does`nt mind:D

Don't worry guys, its to far north for me, although I didn't mind when I was living on Brampton island, the climate that is, was a bit warm for working though:)
Beaches must be swimmable.:)

The coldest day in atherton this winter was about 6 degrees, had to keep my jumper on till about 8:30 in the morning. :p must have had a good 3 - 4 days of that oppressive weather.

Having grown up in NSW and having daylight saving during the school years it was great. Spending 10 years on the Gold Coast / Brisbane and dealing with crossborder companies I can see an advantage.

Now that I live and work in FNQ don't see the need.

Perhaps we just put another border around Gympie and below and let them have daylight saving, and save the rest of the state from faded curtains.

Separate State - North Australia.
Boarder around Mackay.
No daylight saving for new State.
Problem solved.

PS Extra advantage - no more Can Sorta Do in charge.

Daylight savings responsible for drought says Albury man | Swollen Pickles Daylight savings responsible for drought says Albury man | Me fail English? That's unpossible!
