Queensland is meant to be a nice place. I've never been there, though. My officemate back home wanted to live in Brisbane very much indeed. He said it was his favourite Aussie city. The weather / temperature is fairly similar to Florida, I think. Queensland is Australia's 'sunshine state'. They grow a lot of sugarcane and bananas. The hurricane or cyclone or whatever it was destroyed most of the bananas this year, however. Typically you get bananas down to 99c or $1.99 per kilo when they are in season. This year they were around $12-$15 in Australia because they were so scarce. Hard to get banana smoothies and the like at cafes too. They took them off the menu, basically.

Brisbane is a bit away from the beach though, I've heard. Gold coast is very built up tourist area. A strip of high rises along the beach. If you travel a bit further to the Sunshine coast that is meant to be nice. Though the tourists are finding out about there too so you should really drive a bit further... Depends on what you are after, I guess...

> Alex thanks I had it reversed weather wise. I've heard that Queensland is not a nice place is it true? And the barrier reefs sound so beautiful. I want to come to Australia. Trade with you? Love Phillipa
