Hello Peni.
Yes I know all about the mozzies..taking heaps of stuff to keep them away,I get bitten really bad by them.
My connection to Finland,is by marriage I married a Finn from Helsinki
No trouble with the language he can do all the talking for a change.
I tried to learn some Finnish..not easy & I was saying it the wrong way..so I gave up learning.
I agree Sydney is getting too busy,luckily we live near National Parks..so quiet & the air is good..
Only thing is we can get to the city in 40 minutes by train..lots to do in the city,we go there now & again.
Geraldton is hot from what I remember, Mandurah is a better temp & also very popular.
We have holidayed there.
Oh well things to do..have started paractising my packing.
Have a nice day.
Annika
