I live here on an island in the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, which is the second largest state in Australia, South East Queensland boasts more Olympic medallists per square mile than anywhere in the world. <br /> <br />It does not snow here, and the temperature practically never gets below 15 deg or over 35 degrees. Our most famous son is Steve Erwin, who lives about 20 minutes from me. This is also the home of the worlds largest sand island, Frazer Island and it is also where the worlds largest living entity lives, it is the only one visible from space it is the 1500 mile long Australian Great Barrier Reef. Also the worlds oldest living creature a Galapagos tortois called Harriet I think she just had her 197 th birthday, she owns and controls Steve Irwin. <br /> <br />However, I do not origonally come from here, I come from one of the countries olny two super cities namely Sydney. I reckon that Pommy bloke from Melbourne, must be nuts if he thinks it is even whorthwhile living there. It has rotten weather, its people who can do so, are all migrating to up here to the Sunshine Coast because they just cant stand the place any more. <br /> <br />You might gather that Melbourne is the other super city and there is great rivally between the two. But seriously I have been going there on business on and off for forty years and i can see very little to like about the place. Foods good, so are the parks and gardens and the roads are ok as well. But boring, flat featureless, 4 seasons in a single day. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br /> <br />Ian <br /> <br />PS No wonder he still calls himslef a Pom after 50 Years and not a Melbournian, not me i'm proud to be a Sydneysider even though I don't live there anymore.
