BG> Welcome to Queensland.  Just be thankful that (unlike some of
BG> us poor bastards) you can go back home whenever you like.
BV> Yeah but they have mozzies down here that actually bite you.
BG> They fucking bite here too, I can assure you!  Bastards!

Actually you are right. A day or two after returning home we all
broke out in mozzie bites. It must have been a temperature thing or
something because I couldn't explain it any other way. We didn't
notice them when we were up there, but boy did we pay for it later.

BV> The fuckers up there are so large that they have landing
BV> lights which makes them somewhat visible :)
BG> A bit like march flies with probosci ??

ROFL...Those fucking things are amazing. You can hit them so hard
that they actually make a THWACK sound and bounce off of the nearest
wall, but the fuckers just buzz for a moment and then attack again.

BG> This will be my last summer up here - I doubt I can tolerate
BG> another - and moves are now underway to secure housing on the
BG> Central Coast.
BV> Hmmm...I'd think about that one first. Whilst I prefer the
BV> warmth I'd probably consider the South Coast first.
BG> South Coast of what, NSW ??  Nice area, but a bit far from family
BG> in the Sydney region.  I'm concerned that dad is almost 70 now, and
BG> sooner or later he's going to need somebody to look after him.

I can understand that. My preference would be the South Coast of NSW
as it just doesn't seem to get as crowded. If however you already
have an attachment to the Central Coast as well as the family thing
then I'd probably be doing the same as yourself.
