Newport - Canal living. What an intro to Aus living!

Yes .It's on!! The weather warming up , humidity rising so we know what's a comin in January and February. Now we've been in Redcliffe 4 weeks and beginning to feel a little more at home. We went to the city centre to the botanical gardens on Saturday. Andrew was bitten by a small ant that was a little poisonous and complained for about 2 hours of the pain. Welcome to Australia mate. I can hear Crocodile Dundee saying....... "That's not an ant...This is an ant!!"
We have been thoroughly spoilt in our place of accommodation and we are very appreciative of  how we have been looked after. Our current place has 8 bedrooms and is just gorgeous. It is still a place that boggles the mind for luxury. We will be in a much smaller place for the remainder of our stay from this weekend onwards. I am starting work a little later than planned but the extra time off has been very much welcomed.We went to the Australia Zoo made famous by Steve Austin. His beautiful wife and children are doing a magnificent job of keeping the zoo going and we were very lucky to meet them





We have bought ourselves a used car . The children have had an excellent time starting out at the school and have made instant friends. Liam is learning about footy and rugby. Will keep you updated with more anecdotes as the children will be posting some things soon.
