Eight times: once, the grand tour (Sydney, Canberra, Barrier Reef, Alice Springs,
Ayers Rock + Melbourne) + seven more times to Melbourne.

Sadly it's still a good few years before I am old enough and rich enough to retire
there. I do though know how oppressively hot Melbourne can be in the summer and how
miserable and damp it can be in the winter.

G'day Paul

yup we've been. A whole blissful year as a working holiday/honeymoon. That was 5
years ago now. We hope to live in Melbourne, when the good news is stamped into our
passports!

YES we've been.

First time was 12 years ago when Hubby and I spent an awesome year in a great little campervan. We travelled north from Brisbane until the road ran out at Daintree. Then it was back down to Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide and back to Brisbane.
Second time Hubby went on a fact finding mission to Brisbane and Perth.
Third time we all went to Brisbane and Perth more fact finding.

Off to the sunshine and friendly people of Brissy when team 1 get their finger out, 17 months now.

All the best to everyone wherever your off to.
