Ok, finally an update. Things have been very hectic, so not much time to update a silly website. dam real life I tell ya, gets in the way too much.
We are madly house / apartment hunting, depending on which suburb. We still haven't found anything that really takes our fancy a few places are nice but too expensive, others just rubbish. Although after our trip up north to Queensland things might be changing...more on that later.
A few things we have been up to over summer are...Tropfest film festival in Sydney's Domain, popped in to watch the Margi Gras, walked the harbour bridge for it's 75th birthday, saw Brian Henson's puppet show and have been out with friends a lot.
For those friends still in the UK, the weather here has been superb :-) we have been to the beach a few times, but nowhere near as much as we would have liked.
We took an additional 4 days off over Easter which made for a great 10 day getaway. First heading to Byron Bay for the Bluesfest. Ghostwriters, John Butler Trio & Ben Harper being amongst the best acts. A huge weekend and great to catch up with old friends :-) We then headed off to the Gold Coast and straight up to Noosa taking in some of the smaller towns along the way.
Noosa is still an amazing place, loads of people due to school holidays and what gives Noosa such an awesome vibe I think i the near perfect weather, restaurants and bars along Hastings street that back onto the beach, or maybe the fact that for $140 we got an amazing Resort room for the night with a spa in the bedroom...sweet :-) Takeaway seafood on the beach looking at the stars, doesn’t get much better.
On the way to Brisbane we stopped in at small town called Buderim. It used to be the ginger & coffee capital of Australia, yeah sounds good already I know. It is on top of the plateau and has views to the coast and across the valley. Awesome views and just so chilled, think rainforest. Looking at house prices there, this could be one place that would be great to head to in a few years time...
Anyway, I will try and make updates a little more frequently, I hope everyone is well! Some photos soon...
