You could always move from the east coast to the rest of Australia (the largest bit). You might have to live a little backwardly though and stop that incessant moaning about how the weather is on any one day.
Paul,

unless i have moved elsewhere the hunter valley is pretty well mined out and has the largest coal port in the world (not a good milestone to achieve).

our weather here has not been good for a few years now. back when the drought was in full bloom we had endless nights to observe and image. i was looking at one stage of travelling south to the provincial village of adelaide to see if i could get this - but time , cost and a little medical procedure yesterday stopped this. I have done it before - hopped a plane and travelled to see an astro event at a moments notice

i quite like the country -

Moaning is a national passtime
