Hi Alioops, My husband is army and we live in Townsville. I LOVE it here, it is a great lifestyle, really great for families esp if you love the outdoors... I have found that it depends on who your neighbours are as to whether you meet them, we live in Riverside, awesome house - DHA, and have met a couple of our neighbours but had to make the effort to meet them. Anyhoo, Im sure whever you end up you will enjoy i and if you end up in Tsv it would be lovely to catch up Oh and we will be TTC Dec 08 / Jan 09 so if your here our #3 will be the same age
