My Plan B is Cairns, I've been looking at the realestate site, some lovely spots around the Tablelands, Just have to get a job....

I'm not sure I would change my plans to that extent by news reports and a few comments on here (albeit people who are there and see what is happening 
) If we all followed what we saw in the papers and what "some" people say, we would all shoot ourselves at age 5
