Hello all! James and Hayley have finally arrived in Brisbane! It's been a muggy past few days filled with lots of tasks. Our flight arrived in at about 5.30pm Brisbane time & James' cousin, Shane, kindly picked us up at the airport and dropped us at our Airbnb temporary accommodation (which we have for 5 nights). We both rose early this morning, around 6am. James went to meet his phd supervisor at the University of Queensland campus & I began the ring around for rentals! I headed to Indooroopilly shopping centre (5 mins walk from where we are staying) and then met James at St Lucia, where the uni is. We caught our first Brisbane ferry cat over to West End, where we are house hunting. The first property was a dud but the second place was great, it's 2/7 Scott street West End and it's still on real estate.com if anyone wants to see it. We've completed the application for it & taking it in first thing in the morning - fingers crossed!!!
Highlights of the day : visiting the UQ campus - it's very pristine and beautiful! And hopefully finding our house in West End, it's a really hip suburb with lots of little indepdent stores and grocers & just had a good vibe
Lows of the day: it was awfully muggy and hot and we did a tonne of walking, now we are both almost snoring at 9.30pm.
Love Hayley & James
P.s enjoy the picture of the little magpie we made friends with!
