I'm out near Warwick. Moved from Brisbane 7 years ago to get out of the rat race. I didn't drive out of my driveway this morning, I skied in the mud!
Oh and as for SHB, I'm starting with perforated bottom boards in the hope it might help reduce any SHB issues. Between them, Nosema, and AFB, I'm hoping I can avoid them until I get established at least, but who knows.
