All sounds good except you can't have done the school drive at rush hour, you'd have to speed to do that in 25 mins.

You see some cool sea side builds, I like those boxy ones with a one way slope roof and the steel rope rails.

Yer shes seen a few by some fella, whos got some really radical designs, but alas really radical prices.

The owner has countersigned the contract at 30k over our offer, so im not overly perturbed lol..

Will go and do the deal tomorrow.

Now .. if only i could sell this place, id be well impressed

... and regarding rush hour, she has devised a plan, fly thru Caboolture, and down narangba/morayfield connection rd, and screech around the bend at petrie..

Its all bullshit i know.. < will make my journey to work, about 2 hrs in the mornings if i leave at 6;30 and just over an hour if i leave at 6...

so really compromise is the key, and im an early riser, and love driving.. so thank gawd for that..

There's a service road runs down the left of the highway as you go towards Brisbane, starts just past Caboolture that would be the way to go as Caboolture it self fairly busy. Think she may still need to lift her timing to 40 mins in rush hour.

I visited Redcliffe a few months back, and found it to be a quite a lively place - until I went into a pharmacy and was confronted by a huge range of zimmer frames and other older people apparatus. I went into another pharmacy to see if the first one was a one-off. It wasn't. This did give me an insight into the demographics of the area, though the amount of units being built would indicate that a newer, younger generation is moving into the area.

Its indicative that sea air makes you live longer. That and a more harmonious lifestyle to that down GC. The blackpool of the southern hemisphere..

It's because there's also two hospitals locally that don't provide free zimmer frames, so selling them close by is a booming business.

Can she not pop them on the train at Burpengary or Caboolture and they can get off at Strathpine, or is school not near station?
