Oooops hit send too soon! I meant to clarify that life out here is great etc but personally, for me, I would rather live somewhere like Brisbane. I find it more varied and friendly. Then again I am talking from a "no kids" point of view. The GC certainly caters for families! Especially fat families who like kebabs, customised utes and dont wear shoes in the supermarket LOL! :O)

Opinions on acreage differ a lot, depending on what each individual actually considers acreage to be.

IMO acreage is a property on 5 plus acres, but this of course is just my opinion.

Anybody know how much land you have to be on for your property to be classed as acreage? X

hmmm...i reckon 'most' peoples opinions will be that 4000 m2 is an acre, because that is what constitutes an 'acreage' property - not an 'opinion' btw more of a fact!!!!!
