No. You write ... "misleading" ... It is not. Otherwise 6 months it is. If you want to be right all the time, be right all the time.

It's misleading in the fact that most people viewing that chart would think the rainfall is distributed fairly across the year as it is in nearly all temperate climes. (where the majority of folk on this board are from).

It isn't as Darwin and the northern half of the NT experiences a distinctly monsoonal climate.

Once again, for posterity, I'm not disagreeing, I'm just pointing out the reality of rainfall in the NT.

Seems you can read isohyets but not map titles. You presume on the abilities of the poor reader folk. Perhaps you presume correctly.

You can mislead people to water but you can not make it rain all the time.

Kawana Island, Qld. Mile after mile of sterile, bland crapness. Streets full of uniform houses built on top of each other with tiny gardens. Why do Australians want to live like this?.

Sh*tehole.

Dont know about a catch
If you do a search for posts by podgypossum,Stevebannister and mr.mover -they are Adelaide bound/there.

Also there is a site for adelaide expats-maybe if you pm podgypossum or Bix they will have the url for it.

Kawana Island demographics show that area to be be very popular with migrants from New Zealand. QLD on average has 3% NZ born living in the State. Postcode 4557 (including Kawana Island) has 7% NZ born.
UK born is 2nd most common for migrants after NZ.

Other statistics show 3 times as many flats in the area, compared to QLD in general, and 43% of property in the area is also rented, as opposed to owner occupied.

Cool. Still a lot of Aussies though. There are some nice places in that area, this isn't one of them. I'd live there if you paid me. A lot.
