We found a rental property a suburb north from where we are currently staying with my sister, and are getting ready to move in. Our household goods are waiting in storage, and will be delivered by the removal company tomorrow. We were supposed to have the delivery last Thursday while the kids were in daycare, but due to illness in the family, it was postponed until after the weekend.

It’s a huge house with 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms, huge open plan living, dining & kitchen area, double garage & ducted air con(yay).

We have a 6 month lease initially, and hopefully if the landlord likes us, we can extend for a further 6 months.

Here are a few pics.

We were prepared more the packers this time. In previous moves, the boys simply turn up and start packing things up that are there; not necessarily organized into groups & rooms.

This time was different. We had partially packed stuff ourselves. Everything was in it’s appropriate room and in an organized fashion. We also still had stuff in boxes from our previous move, so that made things a bit easier also.

So our stuff is in a container ready for it’s journey. I’m told that the container is 3/4 full, and needs to be fulled with another small consignment; then it travels by road to Sydney, and then by rail, across the Nullabor to Western Australia. The whole journey should take about 10 days (once it leaves the Brisbane depot).

Our journey continues here in QLD for a couple more days. We have to clean our now empty house, tie up a few loose ends, and then drive to Brisbane on Wednesday to catch our flight.

It’s interesting that all this goes on, and the young kids don’t have a clue.
