I was sure you or someone would have taken the bait on your location 'not' being in sunny qld....
But it is such a nice area most of us claim it as part of 'southern qld' anyway!! 
Truth be known, it may as well be QLD from Byron up as the NSW Govt's, that includes both parties, couldn't give a rats about the area as it's just too far away from Sydney. What happens on the Goldy and Brissie, not Sydney, affects us here. That's everything, business and commerce, sport, recreation etc.
