For decades there has been a one-way migration from Victoria to
Queensland, as the Southerners go North to escape the rain.  My
youngest daughter now lives in Brisbane with her partner and son.

Twenty years ago there was a McRae clan re-union on the 150th
anniversary of the first members of the clan arriving in the good
ship, "Tomatin" at Port Misery (as Port Adelaide was then known) in
South Australia.  Then, the men had to carry the women across the mud
flats to shore.  Facilities have since been improved.  At the
re-union we all shared the whisky donated by the Tomatin distillery.
My mother was honoured as the senior clan member.  Among the 100+
people present, from all over Australia there were probably a few
Toms, as that was a popular family name.  My Philippines-born Brisbane
step-daughter was present at the re-union, and was welcomed as part of
the clan.
