Finally a Place to Call Home!

The search for a place continues.  After over a month of searching for a place to live I finally found one that I can see myself living at.  A few weeks ago my friend Kiley and I looked at a place that had everything.  Right across the street from the beach.  5 blocks away from work and the main part of surfers as well as an awesome living environment.


Unfortunatelythe room was given to someone else.  After finding that out I pretty much gave up hope and just assumed that I was going to be in the hostel for the next 5 months, it wasn't that terrible right?  I just kept trying to tell myself that.  Anyways about 5 days ago I got a text from the girl who lives in the apartment telling me that the girl that took it is moving out after only living there a week and wanted to know if we wanted it. 

uhhhh,,,ya.  SCORE!

Anyways we moved in on Sunday and are really starting to get settled in here.  We are paying 150 a week to share a room (about the norm for this area) including all utilities and wifi.  Also there is a washer and dryer, our own bathroom, really nice living area, a mattress to die for, and because it's a holiday resort complex we have the usual....2 pools, sauna, spa, gym and secured entry.  nbd.

Besides the point, it gives me the extra boost to get a board and go surfing (I can see the beach from my living room, no excuses). So I can embarrass myself all the time instead of every once in a while. 

My new official Australian address is

305/28 Northcliffe Terrace
