I’m from Brisbane, and I’d maybe go back if I could get something on the far north coast, something between Yeppoon and Mackay. I’d honestly go way further, but then you run into crocs and the beach becomes a bit pointless, and you start having to actually deal with wet/dry seasons.
Oof yeah having grown up in the proper tropics overseas, as much as Melbourne winters can be a bit depresso I also don’t ever want to go back to proper tropical humidity. Plus as a brown chick I have accepted that my chances of having a good social life and feeling safe are lower outside of major metropolitan areas or hippy towns. I think the Sunny Coast is as far north as I’d like to go.
Yeah, fair call! As someone who’s spent a lot of time in rural FNQ (Grandparents own a very large cattle farm, and many other members own farms as well), I hate to admit it, but a lot of folks (young and old) still have some very old world views and values. I’ll never forget my Grandparent’s reaction to my sister dating and eventually bringing home a lovely Filipino lad, they did all but clutch their pearls and hide the silverware.
