Well, Australia has been very good to us. We have better careers than in Canada, our son has had fantastic opportunities to start his career. Townsville, Queensland is lovely, but so are lots of other places in the tropical region. Australians are our first cousins, so it is very comfortable socially and culturally.

I became a cyclist here. Something I couldn’t ever achieve in a short Canadian summer, so I am influenced by the passion of that awakening, but I do love it here very much.

The whole “Home is where the heart is” saying rings true when your heart isn’t where your home is…. It’s your world you live here go have a look – I think you’d be insane to go against the desires of your heart so three cheers for doing what you like and liking what you do. Hip Hip…..

Thanks Dave. It’s more like I’m creating the opportunity than being given the opportunity. I hear about some people who are given the opportunity to move to the type of location I’m searching for quite often and it drives me nuts….I’m actively searching for the opportunity and haven’t had one present itself. So instead, I’m taking it into my own hand.
Great to have you here and look forward to more interaction.

It’s a big world out there and if you have the opportunity why not?

That being said, I’ve taken three snowmobile trips to Ontario, Ca and I don’t know that I have ever met a nicer bunch of people.

Looking forward to reading about your adventure!

I don’t think you’re crazy at all. I’m a believer in following your passion and if your new location will give you what you’re looking for, then go after it.
I enjoyed your article and I am interested to see how it unfolds.
By the way, I am also loving my bike.

I think that’s cool. If you’ve got the means and ability to do something like that I see nothing wrong with it. You say it’s for your values of family, lifestyle, and cycling and I think that’s just fine.
