Four!

We have now been Australia for four weeks, and today (September 21) is our fourth anniversary!  We were also woken up at four in the morning by a flock of birds that sounded like a pack of wild hyenas.  None of the birds here seem to just chirp or peep.  They shriek, howl, squawk and click, but no peeping.  We guess that they don't need to have a gentle call to attract a mate for a brief mating season.  If they miss one, there will be another mating season next week!

We are getting closer to having a recognized existance.  The city has given us rubbish bins and we are now on the pick-up schedule.  We are going to try, once again, to have phone/internet/cable hooked up on the weekend.  Once we have the internet hooked up properly, expect to be inundated by photos. 

It wouldn't make for much of a photo, but we have now had two days of constant rain.  It is a very light rain, so light that we can't hear it hitting our umbrellas, but it is constant.  Some people (locals, obviously) don't even bother with umbrellas!  We would rather stay dry than look cool.
