Hiya
So this is what I decided and where I am heading
I found a studio flat, underneath a house on the beach at Narrabeen....when I say on the beach I mean 30seconds to water. The ocean and beach are outside my kitchen window and it's cheap enough to rent alone!!! I can not believe my luck, and yes it's further but as a female who gave up everything to live the surf and beach lifestyle I feel my wish has been granted.
I work in city so won't become isolated. And will live close by all the northern beaches...the bus to manly goes from the back of the house!!!
Thank you everyone. Im so glad I asked the advice. . Thank you.
