It sure is! Whenever we visit we don't really see anyone around. But we'll try to keep an eye out for you.

Let us know how it goes.
Does anyone know if stockland/council are going to do anything about the bridge that has water issues? (the one that floods when it rains)

Nothing wrong with paying a little more for electricals. We found our electrical lady was very helpful, practical and not pushy. Plus the cost of upgrading the electricals wasn't that…
