Jesus! Surely you can do better as it will give you a very jaundiced view of Australia and I for one know you can do so much better. Please keep looking. Cheers,...s

Not a chance!!!
Bloody freezing here. I'm originally from South Africa mate. UK is far too full of people. Rocky sounds great - hot and country town - brilliant! Oh and a beach with sand (not pebbles) within driving distance. Got my cowboy hat and guitar and looking forward to the rodeos!!
Different strokes for different folks...............:thumbsup:

Hi Springoz
Well we have been in Rockhampton for a month now and were loving it! The people are so welcoming and friendly, there are loads of young families and so much too do, the weather has been great so far but shoud start heating up for summer soon, Yeppoon is close by for the beaches which is great.
Our 6 yr old daughter has settled into school really well so alls good.
God Bless

Thank you so much for your reply to my post. I am very glad to hear that you all like it. We have 6 yr old twins who I am sure will settle in great. Fingers crossed that the 15yr old does so too. Even more so that I land the job as things seem really tight at the moment in QLD.
:fingerscrossed:
Cheers
Springoz
