Tenerife... You'll find impeccable white sand - imported from nearby Africa's Saharan desert - contrasting with the black volcanic sand natural to Tenerife.

Maybe D'bay could do the same.

Caroline's already been down Crazy Clarks and bought their all new super dooper fangled mopping system!! :rofl:

Some cheap rentals going on the river up there - gorgeous views, absolute water front (oh apart from the road - but you can't see that for the water anyway) :p

Just about to leave to drive up there for a few days now - if we don't report in by Monday morning - call the SES - we're prolly stuck in a flood somewhere! :eek:

It's not far from Cairns for a weekend away though.

Just buy one on the highest stilts you can find.

Is Caroline going to transfer through work theirs stuff around there, she can always say she wants to do rural remote and they'll take her hand off.

As usual Narangba, Dbay and Redcliffe get a mention...what about Dakabin... good schools, main line station and of course Pine Rivers Golf Club, also has a great child care centre (Snuggle Pot Gardens)...worth a look.
Its peaceful, and cheapish (going up though).
I have been to Frankston (had to train some Tafe teachers there) good what a place....enough said!

I always mention Dakabin when people ask where to live around here and we looked at houses there as well.

We should start the Dakabin expats golf association...LOL.
