Brings back memories, in this thread I suggested Phyllis St to buy and develop for your self: http://somersoft.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1094042#post1094042 Would have paid a lot less for the whole block with older house to build these for yourself, in fact probably still could..

I just read the avatar of "Chris B" which struck me like lightning when I first read it many years ago; "What if I fall? Oh, my darling, what if you fly?" From memory was part of a bigger poem about getting close to the edge and cant remember the author but still strikes a chord in me.

Hi all, I have a mould problem in my PPOR, can anyone share a good effective de-humidifier? My daughter suffers from asthma and its a constant battle to keep the mould under control (although as mentioned above clove oil seems to do a search and destroy on it). Thanks Scott

I would be more than happy to pay and have some form of tag on my bike so that I may be identified and think it would do a lot to steer these discussions to a more meaningful direction. Do I think that people will take note of it and ring in a complaint? As per Pinkboys sentiments no I...

Hi all, This topic always generates a lot of debate but vary rarely any facts. The facts are that death is a bigger consequence than being held up for 30 seconds: "In the fifteen years from 1991 to 2005, 665 cyclists were killed in road crashes." With 46 cyclists killed in 2013 the...

Thank you both for the replies, Beanie Girl that is very helpful for my situation. Looks like some homework to do.

Thanks Truly Exotic, I am not really interested in an under the radar type separate tenant arrangement with me having to supply separate phone lines, include electricity, put up a letter box all in my camouflage outfit in the dead of night so the council does not find out. RPI has well and truly...

Hi Beanie Girl, I am very interested in how you go about this, I have a place in Tingalpa which was owner occupied and they built a granny flat attached to the side of the house. Do you get the PM to advertise as "dual living" and sign up with one lease? Is this advertised...

I think the aircraft "ping" (which does not contain the aircrafts position) was heard by only one satellite which knows how far away the aircraft was but not which direction. Would have needed to be picked up by 3 for an accurate intersection of the circles from each satellite, even 2 I guess...

Hi all, How much value do you put on a property being within the 200m of a centre zone? Seems like a dumb question but I have a place that complies and could split to 2 x 340 sq m blocks and am struggling to understand what this means to me. Is it as simple as the obvious bulldoze the...

So to extend the thinking the present populations of major non SE cities: Townsville 172,000 Cairns 143,000 Toowoomba 110,000 Mackay 82,000 Rockhampton 78,000 Bundaberg 70,000 Hervey Bay 50,000 Gladstone 44,000 Total of around 750,000 (according to the only source of truth...

Hi all, Was reading the QLD governement 30 year plan which has some fairly ambitious things in it including a goal to have 50% of the population of QLD living outside of the SE corner within 30 years: http://queenslandplan.qld.gov.au/visions/assets/qld-plan-working-draft.pdf This...

We just had a val on a place at Tingalpa and have recorded the extraordinary growth of 3.5% over the last 3.5 years so I think the horse has has got a pulse but certainly not bolting as yet. There was surely a trough where we went backwards in between those vals during floods etc but I would not...

Hi all, Just thought I would share, if you have google earth installed on your computer, go: File > Add Database and paste in: globe.information.qld.gov.au/flood_events/ to see flood maps of the differant years, and globe.information.qld.gov.au/csg/ to see the gas wells (this one...

Another oldy I have watched lately and really enjoyed was "Hurricane" with Denzel Washington. I got interested from the Bob Dylan song, that fact that it is a true story is very sad. Also loved "the way way back" if you liked little miss sunshine, napolean dynamite etc this is worth a watch.
