[QUOTE=aussievic]Hi Zen

My husband just went to the Australian consulate on Monday and got his visa! We did the front-end loading thing (where you take it all in at once) and had everything there and they did it straight away - it was easier I think because we've been married but you should look into it and see if you can front-end load it as the woman just looked at it, asked my husband a couple of questions and did the visa then and there.

Don't you miss the beach? I can't wait - just packing the car up on a Saturday morning and heading up the coast. I was talking to a friend of mine on the weekend and she's going back next week. She's hiring a unit at Mooloolaba for a week and is going to swim every day despite it being winter

Mountain Bike park in Samford - excellent. Can you post the URL? My dream is to buy some land at Samford (if I can afford it or the bank will give us the money) and live out there with some space around me - after London for five years I've earnt it! That would be fantastic if that's on the doorstep. Soon as my house sells, I'm off.

Do you do any road riding? I've been in touch with the people at Bicycle Queensland (http://www.bq.org.au/) and they do organised tours most weekends as well as longer tours (Brisbane to Bundaberg). I hope to do both when I get home.

Will definitely keep in touch. Is your other half into cycling?
