Thanks but I think a little cottage in Mintaro or Burra will do me just fine. Not quite the outback but felt like it was in the middle of nowhere...

If you have the opportunity to try it for 6 months and see if it's what you thought it would be, DO IT.

I find people in SA more relaxed and gentler than always busy Melbourne n Sydney people.

Haven't stayed in Brissy so don't know about the tropics.

And one of the very lovely posters from here is in SA.

Welcome home to Sydney.

Some of my favourite people live in SA -

But it gets stinking hot.

Welcome back to the rat race Martini!

I just got back from hols in Mackay and still hankering for the country life there. Eggs fresh from the chook's backside for brekky, etc.

Good to be back home, though.

I thought you might have been banished to the naughty corner, pleased you are back I had to find another kudo receiver in your place.

I loved Burra! And yes I agree re: the people in SA - so relaxed. But I can't believe that everything is so close. Clare Valley - only 100km (?) away from city centre! Burra only 150km (?) away?

But we spent a good amount of time between Broken Hill and the Flinders ranges. An anthropologist friend is doing her Phd on remote indigenous communities so I caught up with her and spent a few night with her visiting some indigenous communities in Wilcannia and in the Flinders - that was fascinating.

We stayed in some great caravan parks/camp grounds!

Couldn't log on cause we were in the middle of nowhere most of the time.

Not having the news just about killed me. The incredible thing was that from Gundagai onwards the ONLY newspares I could get in any of the towns were Murdoch garbage. So I can imagine the hullabulloo that has been happening here the last 2 weeks lol...
