You got a beach house in Australia!? That's awesome beyond words!
I don't, but have friends that do. We go down now and then. I am not much of a beach person, I get bored sitting on the beach, trying to get a tan. Bad for your skin too. I could get a beach house but that means having to go there every week end and it is three hours away, would take up far too much of my time. This way it is much better I get to go now and then and I don't have all the upkeep and cleaning another house either.
