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.Originally Posted by corsair

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
Oh, yeah - it gets chilly down there and that wind is just mega! We moved to North Canterbury, then to Gisborne, then to the UK and then back to Australia simply becasue we got tired of being cold; northern hemisphere winters are much more savage than anything I've ever experienced in NZ ... and I've had hot water bottles freeze overnight in the bedroom in Ophir, Central Otago!!
