Victoria,

My partner and I will be applying for a visa for him to migrate in December and with a processing time of a maximum of 4 months I'll be back by April 2004. Yippee - I can just feel the beach calling me!!!

As regards mountain biking in Brisbane, I know from my web surfing that a new mtb park has opened out near Samford -Brisbane Mountain Bike Park which looks as though it could be worth a look. And I've heard that Daisy Hill also has some good riding, but it's hard to find out a lot of detail.

Do stay in touch though, it's reassuring to know that there will be at least two other girls on mtbs out there!!!
