New House!!!

Finally, I can say that we have moved into our new rented house in Rockhampton. Llew started work there on April 7. He was in a motel for three weeks while Rockhampton time real estate agents got around to processing the application and contacting the owner......

So for those overseas, here is a mud map of where Rocky is.

And for everyone, here is our place, and CQU where Llew works and I will hopefully work soon.

Here is our house. Mum and Dad drove myself and Peanuts up last weekend and we unpacked all of the boxes and sorted out all of the furniture. Yes, the three bedroom house is now full! We have a nice corner block across the street from a nice park and the Fitzroy river.

It has a huge open kitchen/dining room/lounge room.

Llew is happy with the size of the kitchen, and the ability to have a full table in the middle (and he can see the TV from the kitchen). The only strange thing is the sink is all the way over on the left, so a long way from the stove.

Looking from the side of the kitchen into the hall where the back door is on the left and then into our bedroom. It is a good size and windows on two sides so is nice.

From the edge of the kitchen you can just see the front door on the right and then the huge lounge with which we have combined the study.

This is the left side of the lounge. The large bookcase's bottom 3 shelves are all Llew's cookbooks. Now he can sit there and read them all!

The bathroom is really large too, and looks out ove the backyard.

The third bedroom is where our new exchange student (girl from Germany) will stay. Sorry, no pics of the second bedroom with the double bed. Yes, plenty of room for all of you who want to come and visit. We want ALL our friends to come and visit!!!!! Come on!!!!!

Peanuts sure feels at home after hiding for a couple of days. Now he is king of the castly again.

As I said, we are across from the river. Lovely! Gorgeous! So many birds too.

This is a zoomed in view out from our front veranda. Fabulous to sit out there of the afternoon once the morning sun has moved off to behind the house. Have a beer, run or wine (whatever your favour) and watch the world go by.

Zoomed back view. The city centre is off to the left about 6 blocks, so there is a bit of traffic. Not too noisy and makes for good entertainment.

So, we are extremely happy there. Doesn't quite feel like home yet - feels too much like we are on holiday. I guess we should enjoy that while it lasts! We are, however, going to be on the lookout for a place to buy. Hopefully in the next 6 months. We'll see.
