Only 4 months today til we are on a plane so I think we'll manage to put up with our rented one bed shoe box til then!

When it gets really hot I flake out a bit, so Perth and too much further North would probably be too hot, but each to their own

Tas has fantastic scenery, houses are still cheaper than the mainland, it has seasons like us so is very green.
We live in the Peak District its a lot like it was here years ago, but with really fresh air, beaut Nat Parks and beaches.
We just fell in love with it. Plus only an hour from Melbourne 2 from Sydney, so we can have best of both worlds.

Everything is really spread out and the centre is dominated by a huge Myers and loads of cafes. If it's really shopping that you want to do then check out areas where you're likely to get the things you want. If you're coming for a visit then just enjoy the sights, and tell us and we'll meet you for a drink

Theres a mag called Bargain Shopper that lists loads of place all over Melbourne. It has a website www.bargainshopper.com.au but not sure how much info this gives

Hi Carl,
tee hee. I'm really actually an Essex girl that's been living in W Yorks for the past 9 years.
That surely makes me a little easier a target = you wouldn't be scared of me, more amused by my silly changeable accent between "innit" and "owt".
and I'm only fake blonde by the way...
