So Bec, have you had any more thoughts about The Gymp? When I first started working there it had just been named "The Murder Capital of Queensland" and my parents were beside themselves when I announced proudly that I'd gotten a job there but that title has since been lost and the crime rate is lower than lots of other places. I personally wouldn't live there (which is why I travelled from the Coast for 8 years), but that's just me. It really isn't that far to drive, but that stretch of hightway has a bad reputation. The people there have all been really friendly and helpful though it does have its share of rough nuts!
thanks for you PM, we are actually going to have a look at a house tomorrow...which is why im up at 4am stressing that we wont get it casue its awesome. We decided that it wouldnt be good for DP to drive that road twice a day, and when we looked into housing up here we were amazed! we have always wanted a bit of land and to live out in the sticks, i was bought up on and around farms in the uk. and we found this place for the same rent we pay now, on land,....lots of land. they actually asked if we would be moving livestock in with us....i had to laugh! its about 20 min drive from the outskirts of gympiem which is where dp would be working! so heres hoping!
