Default Its good to be back ...

Well - what a first 8 weeks it has been. And I must add that it has gone VERY quickly. So much to do and see.

I just got a job in Real estate over here so if anyone wants to buy a house in Buderim then get in touch and I will try to help!

Zoe is going to Uni to train as a teacher. Seems like a good time to do it. Also - I got some work in the clubs in Noosa (DJing) so thats also cool to tie us over at night!

As was said by many before - TV IS RUBBISH. god bless Austar. The weather has been nice although the last few days have been stormy and again now as I look out towards the sky its thunder and lightening (its 5:30pm).

Driving here is easy - much better than the UK as its so quiet on the roads. The theory test is crap (failed it once and have not done it again yet).

Went around the Jeremy Irons house a few weeks back for a BBQ. Had a really nice time and encountered quite a bit of wildlife at the same time! Not sure if Jerry has posted on that though.

So much to say !!!

Mum aint talking again, we invited her to our wedding and she blew up. Just posted her a letter so see what comes of that (will keep you all informed)

Did I mention it was good to be back!

Just sold the unit up in Little Cove today so will be moving to a location further along the coast for work. All of the areas are really nice I think but a few stand out so far as being REALLY worth living in.

Well - thats all I can think of but if anyone has any questions for us do not hesitate to ask - its so good to be here eventually and the hassle is WELL worth it (if only for the donut king cinnamon rings)

Great to hear from you! Can't wait to get out to Noosa myself

Questions:
Which areas are you thinking of settling in?

As you are in real estate do you know which local schools have good reputations i.e. they mention them on the details to sell?

Hi Anthony

Nice to hear that you are ok and have got a job.

Hi Anthony and Zoe,

Hey the big spider on the deck was still the size of a bird when we found it Shrivelled up the next day, amaizing what a complete can of spray can do to them....... Hope all is well and hopefully next time we can spend more time on the music session. (I spent 3 hours trying to beatmatch 2 tracks, used them as frisbees in the end)

Regards
Jerry

Hi there,
It's nice to hear from people out in Oz, telling it how it is.

Not too happy to hear that Tv is Crap - It will make the wife happy though.

Keep on letting us all know how you go on.

Bye
