New Apartment

After living in 68 Crown Street for about 4 months we really liked the area but there were a few things about the old place that were bothering us, so the best solution was to move about 5 doors down to 63!! The new place has a bit more room and is more modern with better facilities (it even has a spare room for any visitors !!)The only problem was it came completely unfurnished so we had to pretty much buy everything but the kitche sink. We've gradually been picking up furniture here and there for all the rooms and thankfully we are now pretty much done, so here are some pics ...

Our First Aussie Holiday!

We took a few days off work (well Ro is changing job so has a nice break in between), rented a jeep and headed north. We stopped at a Koala Sanctuary in Port Macquarie and then drove onto Byron Bay which is absolutely beautiful with some great restaurants and lovely beaches (even if it is a bit windy). On our way home we stopped off in Hunter Valley for 2 nights and did lots of wine tasting! We also purchased our biggest holiday souvenir ever...a wine barrell for the balcony!!
