    I moved down here because this is where hubby was Mooo. Met him on the internet..........and as he was working and my boss had lost his contract it was easier for me to pack up the child and move to him.

    We try and get up there at least once a year though.....My brother lives in sanctuary point and mum and dad live in tomerong. I miss the weather some days....but then when you have 40 degrees and we have 27 i am bloody glad I am not there hehehe.

    Kool ...You don't often hear of the success stories, My hubby and I met on the net, He chucked in his nursing job cos he had developed a heart condition, moved up here, and its been better for his health...

    Yeah i am happy <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> I agree its nice to read a success story......so many others i know that have met on the net and ended in disaster. I think we worked because we didnt go into this with high expectations, it was sort of just if it works it works!

    Plus we did it long distance for the first 12 months so i sort of figure after that we can get through anything.

    How long have you been on the south coat Mooo?

    Hey everybody!

    My name is Rich, am a resident of Ipswich, West of Brisbane in Southeast Queensland. Am a retired jack of all trades.. my original profession was in the aquarium and aquaculture field. Later on i went into medicine, then later on into computers.

    My hobbies are, of course, aquaculture, aqualandscaping, water features, ponds, gardening and landscaping, computer database applications, cooking, and home improvements.

    I am 54 and in a long term defacto relationship. Always looking for mates , specially those with interest in the aquarium hobby.

    My favourite fish are African and South American cichlids, Also love guppies and Green Swordtails, the natural green variety. Love Salt water fish too but they are just too much work for an old geezer like me.

    Say G'day!!

    Hmm, never saw this when I first joined, might as well give it a go now!

    My real name is Peter, I'm 19 (almost 20). Living in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia and make the daily commute into Adelaide itself to study Ecology at Adelaide Uni. I'm yet to specialise in any certain branch of Ecology, but we'll see where third year takes me! (probably towards terrestrial animals, unless I do really well in, and enjoy the aquatic ecology stuff first semester).

    I'm into Metal of almost every kind (just don't try to feed me death metal or anything that I can't understand what the singer is saying), and am known to listen to the few odd bands outside of those genres (Muse, Daft Punk, Duran Duran). I'm an avid reader, I own so many books they weigh more than me...and I've read each of them at least twice, more for my favourites! (Fiona McIntosh, Sara Douglass, Matthew Reilly etc).

    As for fish keeping, I only a little 2ft tank that I got for christmas, but I love it so. Especially my little dwarf gourami, who greets me every time I walk in the room by knocking the thermometer against the glass. (unless he's too busy playing in the bubble wall from my airstone of course). Don't really have the room or money for anything else just now, but really wish I did!
