No probs Chris, My first choice (wait for the Aussies to look puzzled!) would actually have been Hobart - first place I visited, and I just looove the Tassie wilderness, the whole isolation thing, miles of empty beaches, little rocky coves, forests, lakes - paradise. Guess the isolation might get to me after a while though. I also know Hobart a lot better than I know Brissie, though I'm now finding my feet here a little.
Mrs D took me sightseeing yesterday, most amazing views over the water, and I'm falling in love with Queensland more day by day. theres always Tassie for holidays.......!

Im glad someone else can see why I love it down here in the Wynnum area so much, I am seriously having second thoughts about moving out of the area.
Wonder how much that block of land that we saw yesterday up on the hill is Polly?

Although my mrs lived there and liked what she remembered,her younger brother was born there,she can't remember what was exciting there.Granted we live quite a hectic lifestyle allways on the go but I'm sure she would have remembered something of Taz.Sorry to all you taz devils out there ,maybe thats whats so appealing "the tranquility of Tasmania".Allright Polly we're with you You've got us under your spell

The Wynnum area is certainly beautiful. Mrs D, you should ring up about that block, even if just for interest to see how much they want.
Dotty, give me a yell when you are back from the UK! I'm sure you are real!!! We'll see what we can do about meeting up, and you can bring me the latest gossip from "up north"! (and some Jaffa Cakes, Dry Blackthorn Cider and sour Skittles wouldn't go amiss!! Oh no, I'm missing things already!!!)
