We are planning a trip south from November to February and so we can stay in national parks need to leave our 4y/o border collie at home.
We live in a high set 70 queenslander in edge hill. Cafes, shops, botanic gardens and bowles club are all within 5 to 10 mins walking distance.

Our house is 3 beds and open plan. All rooms have air conditioning but we rarely use it preferring the breeze and open windows. We have a lovely elevated rear deck where we eat all our meals looking at the mountains. We have a pool and some garden that will need small amounts of attention. There are lawns front and back. We are renovating so if you like 'pristine' living then this probably isn't the place for you but then neither are the tropics.
Our dog is a 4 y/o border collie who likes a walk and loves the beach (15 mins drive). He's well trained apart from when foods.
