Default 4 years in Oz

Well we have been here for over 4 years and we are still in awe of the bloody place. I still get a buzz opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the different landscape and birdlife. I still get that fluttery feeling when I drive to work on the open road and see the most awesome scenery.

We had a get together on Saturday night with some friends and some expats here in Canberra and a lot of drinking and dancing followed!! I have attached a few pictures.

We also bought ourselves a kayak at the weekend - but OH has a bad back so we have to wait a while until I can test it out. I have attached a picture of it on the garden.

So all in all - 4 years here and NO intention of going back
