It's only 29 degrees today which feels like a welcome relief. The heat is definitely, well, hot - but its the humidity that is the real killer. We spent Tuesday night at a friends house in Brisbane, and without air conditioning or even a fan it was a stretch to sleep. Thank heavens for the pool.
The job hunt continues - we are applying like crazy people and after 2 weeks of solid searching, we are starting to see some results. Hopefully now we can turn those leads in to solid job prospects and ultimately cash!
We haven't had much chance for site-seeing so far, with a sharp restriction on the budget it has consisted mainly of trying to spot koalas and kangaroos alongside the freeway. We have seen a kangaroo so far - unfortunately it had also seen the front of a vehicle at pace.
News flash for the day - possums are a protected species here. Shudder. I would strongly suggest we ship a whole bunch of them from NZ over to here, and that should solve both countries' issues.
I have new contact details, feel free to get in touch!
