Ah Dip Ed - wicked! I'm thinking of doing one when I eventually finish this Arts degree I'm doing. You can do it at Latrobe in a year.
Cairns - haven't been further north than Townsville, but it's meant to be a cool place! You'd have to miss all the Geelong games though; that's always the downer when it comes to moving away.
Might be worth having a year or two off then going back to do it, Blitzy.
