One week in!!

We have been here just over a week now and still enjoying it. Had a bit of a day off this weekend. on saturday Dave and Laura came over and ended up drinking far too much somewhere in between taking a few walks along the beach at Toquay. On sunday we went a short distance along the Great Ocean Road and met some of the local wildlife.

We were in a place called Lorne I think the fishing must get a bit competitive or fishermen are the same the world over.

The way it walked reminded the kids of Granny, I can get away with saying this as I know she won't read it

Archie's prize a sponge he found on the beach

The kangaroos were on a golf course luckily for them I wasn't playing!!

We did find a couple of Koala's as well

A view to retire to along with the local inhabitants you can see earlier

The beginning of our adventure

The house gets packed 

Taking the furniture down with the dog and the kids help!!!! (or not)

Rachael quite enjoyed the packers! but not the tattoos i'm informed.

Its all sealed and off so no going back now, lets just hope it gets here in one piece

Our leaving party, two convicts, the Wizard of Oz and Crocodile Dundee

The Williams family leaving do, all pissed as usual!!

Mum Houghton getting mobbed at the Sitara

The kids saying good bye

Some great friends, sorry to leave them along with many others

Some of us coped better with the journey than others

Please bear in mind that our entire house was in that huge box before so this is Rachael packing light!!

Picking up our hire car, it took a few trips with Rachaels packing.
