Rumour has it that Victoria and Queensland are working on chopping NSW out
and pushing it out into the Pacific Ocean. ;)
One has heard of Melbourne referred to as "Kennetopia" more than once....
If things turn out (?) I will be joining the Victorians for a year or two,
or maybe more, after Xmas. Might be simpler to import empty tanks and
start again from scratch, the shops are bigger and cheaper in Melbourne
anyway.
Cheers, Andrew
