Hi all,
I've finally left the cold of
Portland NSW for the warmth and hospitality of
Springsure.
First day of the new job and I'm already surfing!!
Cheers
Dave

Welcome to the great state Tour Boy. Good oppotunity to see some interesting things out that way. Make sure you have a look at the staircase range and where the Chinese labour was used to dig a track through Basalt for the Cobb & Co coaches.
Salvatore Rosa another must see.
Regards
Franga

Lucky buggar, wish my inlaws would move then we'd be out of this rat race (
Sydney). No hope in hell of my other half wanting to move till her parents do. She did say that as soon as they move we'll go so there's hope. There saying there going to move to Coffs. All the best Regards Steve M

Coffs is a great place. I was on my way further south, stopped a few days and that was seven years ago and it is now home. It is a great place to come back home to after my six week rotation at work in Africa.
I never get sick of the beaches or the forest behind Coffs. Christmas Day we go to our favourite spot on the Nymboidia River down a wonderful steep 4x4 only track.

You may as
well all come; everyone else is! Couple of important things to remember though:
1. there is a reqiurement that you leave a tip on top of the fridge just over the border, and;
2. remember to bring your own
drinking water.
Cheers

The NT has had a female Chief Minister for 8 years.

Yes, but a Chief Minister has to ask
Canberra before she says or does anything. A Premier doesn't.
You had a Paul Everingham up there for a while...distant relative of
mine .

Hey Footloose.
No quite true, The NT Parliament can make laws, It's just that if
Canberra don't like it they can try to change them.
