Redcliffe QLD
No one has mentioned Redclliffe for a while, and I just came across this photo of when we were there in September, so thought I would share it.

Its not a misprint Ceri, seems it used to be quite a popular name! My dad has done our family tree back to the mid 1700s in mid-Wales, and we have a couple of Lettices in there too!!!
Famous Lettices include a wartime ATA pilot - Lettice Curtis, who was the first woman to fly four-engined bombers.

Thats brilliant! Can't wait to see the house.
Ours will have to wait a while as most lenders are saying no mortgage without PR, and my lousy job pays peanuts anyway
Glad you've got yours sorted though. That should make the whole family feel more settled??
