Well, about 10 minutes after the last post, the guy from the apartment called me. We got the place! We negotiated a 6 month lease but have to pay a deposit and 2 months rent in advance, whew! So, we have to work on transferring money from our US accounts to our Aus bank accounts, which is a tedious task (take out the max amount from the ATM, deposit into bank, repeat each day as needed). We get to move in Friday the 4th, so I'll try to post pics as soon as possible after that (still may have to wait for our computers). And only 2 days overlap with our temporary house, can't get much better than that!
Anyway, this place is in a like 30 story apartment on the harbor. We're on the 14th floor in a 2 bedroom (small rooms) with one bathroom place with a car space in the lot downstairs, security entrance, etc. etc. And a dishwasher! The harbor area around it is a fancy promenade with restaurants and views of the harbor and yachts. It is really nice and only about a 30 second walk from the tram into town. I think it was a little pricey, as in they were asking too much for it, but we're just not going to worry about it. Yeay, we're good at the moving game!
Now to find a job...

Kane and Angie... Yipee..sounds like you have found a wonderful place. Glad to know you have a couple of bedrooms. I am sure you will have company. I am anxious to see photo's of your new digs. Great house hunting...now good job hunting to you both. Sounds like your first New Year in Australia will be quiet, but part of the local flavor. I would be MISERABLE there right now. I top out around 75 degrees. Look for me in the winter. Happy New Year to you both. love... rhonda
New place with a fancy sounding view? Awesome! I bet Joshua likes it too!
Happy New Year! (its still 2007 over here =( )
Wow! $2000 a month! That is pretty pricey alright. Sounds like a real nice place, tho. Must be an awesome view from the 14th floor. Sounds like a good location for being near work also. Good job! I'll be looking forward to seeing pics of it. 107 degrees!! That sounds like Las Vegas desert heat. Scorch-o-rama! Is it humid or dry?....makes a big diff. Like Rhonda, I max out around the high 70's. Well, good luck with the job hunting. I hope you get some great and high paying jobs right away. Happy new year. Be safe. I love you. :)
Angie, it's nice to hear you're moving past your vagabonding days! Good luck to you and Kane with the job search.
