I've always loved a move and spontaneity and as a result we have lovely friends spread from Hobart to Brisbane. I guess I'm a little tired of moving, and the kids are sooo settled... Despite being unwell! Kids are resilient though. I love the idea of the South Coast but I've hit a bit of a snag with transport to get Mr Bettie and his things to work in Qld. I still love the north coast and the train to Robina helps with the airport run. Good point about mould on the Sunny Coast hinterland. Pity. It's a bit nice. I'll keep glued to your blog in case I somewhere catches my eye. I second the caravan thing. As log as we stay in hitting distance of a hospital while Sam is away. I wonder what our new au pair thinks of camping...she's due here in July!!

Orange is quite lovely but it does get chilly in winter! I agree with Heike the sunshine coast is beautiful! <br />Ruth at Beakers and Bobbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309438149509287343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5699001915461550740.post-26660973072359931692014-05-04T16:42:48.238-07:002014-05-04T16:42:48.238-07:00Oh! I wish I could give you a big hug!! Well, I ...Oh! I wish I could give you a big hug!! Well, I suppose I would suggest taking some time off together, getting into a caravan or camper and driving north until you find somewhere where your heart sings. Having moved cities before, I can say that yes, it takes a fair bit of work to make new friends and become part of a community, but the work pays off in the most amazing ways. People you never knew would be part of your life become an unexpected part of your family. You're lucky - you have kids and they seem to be the key into communities and new found friends. :) <br />I could see you on the NSW South Coast - around Bega/Tathra or Berry - where it is beautiful and the people are lovely, friendly and relaxed. Or, around Byron Bay/Lennox Heads. Again - absolutely beautiful and relaxed. There are a heap more services on the Coast north of Sydney, compared to south of Sydney. But, really, that may not be an issue, given you're accustom to smaller town living.<br />The Sunshine Coast is a great place to live. But, then mould may be a problem due to the humidity. You're probably fine on the Coast but less so in the hinterland. Everything goes mouldy in the hinterland. <br />It's probably hard to see it, but it could be an amazingly opportunity for adventure. <br />Big hugs! Heike xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
