Which is a slightly bigger version of the house I had.

It was in Central Queensland, not North or Far North Queensland. North Queensland starts about Bowen. FNQ is north of Cairns.

Ooh
They are very pretty. It's lovely and sunny here today but a balmy 6 degrees. I think I need to move to Aus!

I live in Far North Queensland...
...which actually starts somewhere north of Townsville. Cairns (where I live) is well into FNQ territory.
I sympathise fully with your comments about twats spoiling the character of Queenslander style houses.
The one I bought had cork floors covering some beautiful old timber in excellent condition. The previous owners had also ripped out some classic casement windows and replaced them with aluminium security/flymesh screens. Strangest of all was the covering up of the original tongue and groove walls with random groove panels - those awful sheets with a woodgrain printed on them.
Nearly finished restoring it to it's former glory, but Queenslander houses are a serious money pit!
Anyway, liked your post a lot so have a click.

We could argue about where North Queensland starts
But at least you agree it isn't Nambour!

Defo Townsville
Any further south and it's just another suburb of Brisvegas.
