Indo Warning Thanks Scott, it would be my pleasure to meet you and Jane. The lil' rabbit would absolutely love Sydney. In the past, I've stayed in a hotel in "the rocks" area, maybe a 5 minute walk to Circular Quay...nothing like standing on the small veranda and watching the sun rise over the Opera House and Harbor Bridge...or I stay with friends in Bonnet Bay. I've got a long road to travel and many things to sort out, but, you will definately get a PM from me when the time comes. Like I say, I'm hoping for an April 2010 time frame so I can pay my respects and march in an Anzac Day parade with my mates up in banana bender country. Best wishes to you and yours, buddy. tsap seui Oh yeah, the tropical topical topic...uNcA cUZin' Roger, thank you for posting about your searches for the best relocation areas.

rogerluli Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Well Don informed me... that if he's going to retire in Malaysia he didn't want that hot and humid stuff... so I have the answer... ... The Cameron Highlands are the largest and most genteel of the hill resorts in Malaysia. It's located in Pahang's north-western corner, at an altitude of 1,829 meters. The Cameron Highlands were discovered by William Cameron in 1885. In these days the British planters realized that those mountains were very fertile. Because tea was prized commodity among the colonies, they decided to grow tea on the slopes of the Cameron Highlands.British families who were stationed in Malaysia at the time also took to hills in a respite from the hot, humid tin mines and rubber plantations. Some of the old bungalows, which they left behind are still being preserved for viewing by tourist, with a few facilities added for the conveniences of visitors. So, much of the character of the Cameron Highlands has remained unchanged since colonial times. Since that time the Cameron Highlands has developed into a favored getaway among honeymooning couples. The cool, fresh air on the highlands is also a retreat for city dwellers who want to retreat temporarily from the noise and pollution in the city.The drive time from Kuala Lumpur is about three and a half hours. It is a 295 km drive. The quickest route is by the North-South Expressway turning in near the town of Tapah. From Tapah you will hit the long winding road (about 60km) to Cameron Highlands. Driving up to Cameron Highlands is a pleasure in itself, as many interesting stops along the way can be made. You can take a short break at the Kuala Woh Forest Recreation Park. There are picnic areas and a hot spring. January is one of the main picking months for strawberries. They grow 4 crops a year! Nature lovers will enjoy the trails which takes you to see some of the spectacular views of the highland forests.You will discover the natural beauty of Cameron Highlands. You can admire the various forest plants and animals. You can also explore the more difficult trails. Please take a guide with you!The Cameron Highlands are well known because of its tea plantations. You can visit the tea factories to see the process of tea production and some have shops where you can drink and buy tea. But in this cool climate tea is not the only thing to grow on the highlands. On its fertile soil also grow: fruits and vegetables like tomato, cauliflower and cabbage, roses and fresh strawberries. Sometimes they call it: Malaysia's 'Green Bowl'. http://www.malaysiasite.nl/cameron.htm http://i37.tinypic.com/15d2xhv.jpg And here's the very house I found for Don... http://i34.tinypic.com/w139so.jpg Now I know what you're thinkin'... "Roger this house doesn't look too deluxe..." But that's the beauty of it...On the outside it looks dumpy but on the inside...
