After months of packing, moving, moving again, cleaning, job hunting, house hunting, organising temporary accomodation, flights, car hire, moving trucks, selling off stuff, buying insurance and just familiarising ourselves with the city, we have finally arrived in Melbourne! The past month has been hectic, and very stressfull, but now we are here at least we can relax a bit and just focus on finding a house before our stuff arrives.

Currently we are staying in a funky apartment in East Melbourne (Birches Serviced Apartment). Great location with a quick tram into the city centre, plus it has free parking, reasonably priced ADSL (having tried torrents yet) and it takes pets!

It feels very strange being in a different city. I feel like I’m on holiday, and have to resist the tempation to just sleep half the day, and spend the other half walking around looking at museums and churches. After the mad panic we went through before getting here, a holiday would go down really well right about now.

And yes Matt, we are trucking over the Barina :D.
