Annie - missed your post. So glad to see you back in here, and that you're all doing well. Hopefully DH doesn't get gastro. There's nothing worse than that. And a huge woohoo on Alexander starting to say sentences. What a clever little boy.

annat - have you checked out how far the distances are for travelling, cause you're driving aren't you? From Brisbane to Townsville I believe it's around 1200km (I think it's 1660km to Cairns). We usually allow 2 days travel. How's the house hunting going, have you got anything yet?
