And yes.....as you said, be able to park up for ?? days, if weather comes in. We've planned 5....6 weeks, that should be perfect time span.

Corner a pollie on his own, with hard irrefutable facts he and his party are so so wrong on a particulay point.....the guy will turn to mush, infact he will run. Same guy with colleague will stand together, and together they will defend the indefensible. Pollies, used car sales people......same DNA. ( answer......work your butt off, conceal everything you can, minimise tax, setup "trusts", keep out of the superanuation circus, buy house blocks, and sit on them for 10....20yrs, these alone, will fund you later, fund you real good. ) I'm long over canberra.
