@onewing He was interesting to talk to Babs- but unfortunately he didn't paint a pretty picture of Hervey Bay . I had to wonder how much of what he said was the truth!!
@robz I can imagine what he said about Hervey Bay and he could be right. Paul and Val live just outside Hervey Bay because it is central for work. When they retire they are moving closer to us.
@onewing Such a shame then - the waterfront areas are so well conceived and maintained. A lovely spot for a holiday - I guess we only see what they want us to see when we travel about. :)
