You know that's what I was thinking when you said you'de love to live down in Tassie- Huge power bills for that place- specially in winter...

right now Cairns is only down to 19, so don't even have to pack a jacket!
Though it does get a bit colder at night up in the Daintree.

Now tell me, have you ever been up to the Daintree?
I reckon thats right up your alley in sooo many ways...Even the Atherton Tableslands- Mareeba, Yungaburra...(very Tassie like up there- including the temp but not quite as bad...)
