A truly serious question

My advise? Test the waters before you jump in up to your neck

No amount of 10 day visits can really prepare you for living there. Also, having your own house and property is a different experience than renting.

Just my opinion

Thanks Cap.
I'm old enough to know nothing seems the same once the "new" where's off so I hear you on that note.

It would be quite a while before I considered buying a place.
In my imagination I'd probably start out renting (if possible) in the Red Hill area.
Your input is appreciated.
