I'd happily live at Mt Tamborine. 😊 The elevated position attracts more rainfall so that would reduce the humidity. Very sorry to disappoint you about not taking a closer look at the Cockoo Clock as our time was limited that day.......but next time, I will make a point of going inside to see what their range is like and ask them if they'd mind me taking some photos for my friend from Texas.

haha! well if you ask it that way and they here the word Texas I'm sure they'll give you the red carpet treatment! lol...no just teasing of course, they'll probably say "Those bloody Yanks!" and throw you out. lol.
Have you ever met anyone who did not like the U.S.? Everyone here loves Australia. Because those Koala bears are so cute!
I have a real liking for clocks and especially the hand carved ones and Cockoo Clocks. At one time I serious thought of becoming a horologist, which is a clock repairman. I even had one in Lexington, Kentucky offer to train and teach me because he had a successful business but was old and his health was bad.
Looking back I should have tried it.
Well, actually I think they'd roll out the red, blue and white carpet for my esteemed Texan friend. I'd love to visit the U.S one day but my bucket list is extremely long. 😁
I wrote a blog about cuckoo clocks about 3 months ago so will leave you with the link if you have time to check that out. https://steemit.com/esteem/@trudeehunter/the-history-of-cuckoo-clocks-ae354fe2fad14est
How interesting that you have a passion for clocks. I'd never heard of a horologist. The things you learn in steemit! ⏰ ⌚ ⏱️ ⏲️ 🕰️
haha! speaking of time, what time is it there anyway, is it the middle of the night there? I've never gotten a handle on the time differences. But yes indeed, a Horologist. I almost became one just so I could tell people that I was a horologist and look at there expressions! lol.
I looked it up just now for fun. Horologist: One who practices or is skilled in horology. lol.
here is another: An horologist is someone who specializes in horology, the study of timekeeping devices such as clocks, chronometers, and watches.
But, I was thnking about trying to become an antiquarian horologist, specializing in antique clocks. The way I met him was taking a beautiful antique French mantel clock to him for repair.
Thanks for that link, I'm going to save it as soon as I send this.
What is your bucket list anyway? I don't even have one.
I'd much rather you be a horologist than a horror-oligist 😀 😀 😀 And my bucket list is overflowing and the handle has fallen off it with the weight of all those unfulfilled dreams. Not really.....but it does sound dramatic doesn't it?
haha! Yes that was very dramatic! So do you have at least a small one?
