Knackers,
Thanks for the somewhat brief, yet well summed up reply.
Totalunit,
Thanks, I thought a commute from Mackay would be a bit too much, Tamworth certainly seems better for house prices though, even if the weather isn't as nice. Certainly seems like I would prefer Tamworth purely for the traffic levels although I hadn't realised though that the regional towers are procedural approach which I'm guessing is down to terrain/infrastructure costs.
