We've wound up here for a while... Point Vernon, a part of Hervey Bay, 3 hours north of Brisbane.

... we're about 5 streets back from the seafront, so not entirely dreadful!!
Urangan harbour from the floatplane...

And to those people who reckon it gets cold in Australia, I present to you....

Fletts Road Landing in 2006, South Otago, NZ; just up the road about a mile from our farm - that's a frozen waterfall/cataract!! Christ, it was cold!!
Coldest day i've ever experienced in NZ was a summers day in Invercargill with a southerly ripping up out of the southern ocean. It took four tequila shots for me to even start to believe i would ever be warm again.Quote:

I've experienced the starting and dying cusps of a Northern European winter but never its peak, a fact of which I am extremely glad! When working in Finland i remarked to a colleague how cold i found their spring and he looked back at me and said "You should have been here for the winter, we had -35." Forget that!
One of my car club mates own a bus company up there in Hervey Bay
Its my favourite place to surf almost anywhere ,even with a crowd. Noosa that is I'm guessing
Wow! Beautiful part of the world. I remember staying at Cradle Mountain and saying to my wife, "I wonder how much snow you need to be snowed in" Next morning couldn't see the hire car it was a big white ball and guess what? we were snowed in!Quote:
