Option A or a house swap 5 hours drive West of Bribie would provide some of the driest and darkest sites in the country according to the maps with much less cloud cover.
My sisters’ friends in the Sunshine Coast house swap with friends in the west and mind the property while they take a holiday.

At the moment, I’m becoming seriously negative about all the $$ and effort I have invested in this pursuit for such persistently miserable returns.
I don’t want to chuck it in because it keeps my brain running (after a fashion) and I know that I would quickly become a very unhappy chappie without the stimulus.
