Our new home in Dobell Avenue

Yesterday we moved into our new home in Dobell Avenue in Collingwood Park which is about half an hour west of the center of Brisbane.

This is the little house with a huge gum tree in the lovely spacious garden which is screaming for some serious weeding followed by many many BBQs.

You will see from the pictures that the house is in desperate need of a makeover and we are currently working on getting rid of all the lovely lime green laminate in the kitchen and bathroom. I cannot wait for the skip to arrive!

Bathroom dreams did not come true...

We spent a few days mowing and pulling weeds out and discovered some beautiful plants in the undergrowth. If only it would not be so dry we could have the most amazing botanical garden out here! But I shall not even start talking about the drought... boring!

Paul the pestman was here as well and sprayed the inside of the house to make sure the spiders, silverfish, ants and cockroaches disappear and will not breed in it. I could have kissed him!

We also got our phone and broadband connected which is fantastic. Am very happy to be able to get in touch with everyone back in Europe any time. Our phone number is +61 7 3389 0530 and our Skype phone is always working on wireless, just call SKYPE: craigandtanja
