Don't have a clue where we are going to stay just yet, as we were hoping to come out without the kids a few weeks earlier to sort out the rented house, buy a car etc etc, but a little problem of the CO requesting a HIV test for the eldest has changed our plans, so I think its turn up clueless living out of suitcases to start :)

We have lived abroad before though, so had a good idea of what we were looking for. We considered Adelaide & Bunbury before settling on Cairns. The more laidback approach, good temperatures all year & the lush rainforest won us over.:thumbup:
Oh and of course, Bix lives there;):lol:

How about you?
