Re: Cornwall or Melbourne :)
Also look at The Gold Coast.
It's a great city and has everything you're looking for.

Re: Cornwall or Melbourne :)
Hi again Lunny,
Jan will be here in no time! Enjoy a nice summer (as we've been promised yet again!!), get Christmas out of the way (yuck) and there you go! We're moving July 2011 so a bit longer to wait than you but we're trying to be patience. It's a bit different for us as we're planning on going long term so to keep us busy we're making a list of everything we want to do in London before we go. If you're still about in Oz in July we'll have to meet up for a pint
Tx

Re: Cornwall or Melbourne :)
I'm always wishing my life away!, ever since I was a teenager. I'm hoping I'll grow out of it soon lol.
I'm engrossed in more research as we speak.....
Thanks Mrs.Sully

Jeez, what's with people waiting to jump you on this forum?
If you go back to my post I'm pretty sure I said 'long or dry evenings' you know, not like UK, where you cant even go for an evening walk coz it's lashing out. I'm not afraid of the dark yanno!

As I said Grayling I 'glanced' at Brisbane, did not do an in-depth analysis on it!

- prefer Australia
- say anything bad about the UK
- compare like for like
- have a grip on your own reality

Re: Cornwall or Melbourne :)
I believe I said I've just spent a long winter in Devon - which is dull due to a lack of culture not due to weather.
The summers down here are great because of the coastline, the winters are not -- dinner parties discussing the relative merits of Cameron vs Brown and house prices, pubs serving similar fayre and gymkhanas are not exactly exciting. Exeter has more going on compared to the rest of the county, but even there everyone heads to London if they want to experience a good music and arts scene.
Deepest Devon is dreary in winter

Cornwall wasn't an issue, it was always going to be Melbourne, they just wanted to hear it.
