That's on my Bucket List. Once we're living up that way, it'll be easier to get to. Have fun!

I'm there for four nights which unfortunately only gives me 50/50 chance. Hopefully the Sun will be kind to me for those 4 nights.

Is any one else concerned about Chinesse and Jappanese companies, paying vastly inflated prices for our prime agricultural land?

I do recall a story in Rolling Stone recently on land grab worldwide.... its not only in Australia where this is happening, and yes... I think it can be a problem in the future.

Its not only agriculture land ... residential is not helping the average aussie.

Do you think there is a difference between owning a mine vs agricultural land?

Hard hitting stuff, like "is being called a bogan offensive"?
