Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........... You can discuss top rankings/cities all you want - I have lived in (and enjoyed) Canberra/Sydney/Melb/Bris over the years (also Africa/USA/England) but the 2000 southerners per month moving to the Sunshine Coast (now home for me) tell a story of where the real lifestyle is at! .............and before someone mentions "culture"............. there's plenty to do here - the definition of culture is not how many A Reserve seats you can afford at the opera/theatre etc. Am now off to spend the weekend on my houseboat on the Noosa River.............. -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Lecky [mailto:slecky@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 6 February 2004 1:13 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: O.T.
