We found a house!

Hello all,

It seems our flat finding missions have finally paid fruit and we have found this amazing place to rent in Flemington near the racecourse, in Wellington Street ironically. It is an older style three bedroom brick house with polished wooden floors throughout, a log burner amazing kitchen/dining area with huge north facing windows - it will be extremely hot during summer I'm sure. I'll post some photos when we eventually move in. We have the keys and can move in now but we are still waiting for most of our belongings to arrive from Wellington, so will probably wait a few more days before we spend our first night there.

Today we have to go bed shopping most importantly and also try to pick up a fridge and washing machine at some stage.

On a more negative note my damn luggage never arrived - I blame some dodgy baggage handler in Europe. It's more of a hassle than anything else, I mean a should get a good compensation payout from QANTAS/insurance but it is a pain having no clothes at the moment and somewhat of a chore going shopping for more.

I am going to Perth this week for a job. I have never been to Perth before, so that should be quite interesting although I'm not sure how much time I will actually be in the city. We are doing a modelling job for a huge industrial mining network, six power stations - 1000 km of line - quite big by mining networks standards. I think the job will be quite straight forward, although I'm told getting the required information might be more difficult.

Okay all bye for now, some picks of our house will follow over the next couple of weeks.
