Actually you're giving me a little too much credit B27 - although I was mainly referring to the side of the map, I WAS also having a little dig about where I think is the best place to live! (Water is too cold in WA).
It's alright, we've got hot water systems over here and everything now, it's like living in the future
I made it in one piece - and oh my god, look at this weather!.. I hope you guys know you live in paradise.. Spent a lovely day in Freo on Sunday and was pretty much ready to move here by the time I got back to my hotel. Lots of work during the week, but if I get the weekend free I think I'll go snorkling to Rottnest Island.. (now I wish I didn't let my dive license lapse).
depending on the qualification (PADI,NAUI,etc) you can log onto their website and get a ticket issued if you've ever passed an open water exam ... .actually I think NAUI is in Perth
