New Beginnings




We have landed in Brisbane! It took about 24 hours with 18 hours of flight time, but we (and our luggage!), made it safely to Brisbane. We have spent our first day here getting familiar with the city and exploring neighbourhoods where we might want to live. We have also found a fantastic wine store, thanks to an Aussie working at one of our favourite wine stores, Bin 905, in Calgary.
We start our jobs September 6, so in the next 10 days we will be meeting with a realtor to continue our search for a "permanent" rental, and meeting with some folks from Santos to get us ready for our new jobs. Sadly, our days of leisure are about to come to an end, but at least we have the Aussie summer to look forward to.
The photos are the view from our balcony, looking over the Brisbane River.
