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

    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.

    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. 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.
