Hello there! We're really sorry that it's been so long since we've last posted anything. We're here in Australia now, in Melbourne. Here's what we've been doing: we arrived in Sydney in February. We stayed there for a week, and I met many of Guido's awesome friends! We had a really great time there. Thanks again to Greg, who let us stay at his place for a few days.
Next, we headed north to Guido's parents place in Cawongla which is a small town about 800 km away from Sydney. It's beautiful there and I loved G's parents' house. Arnie and Trudy Gautsch were lovely people, great cooks, fun to talk to and generally an enjoyable pair. They also have their own art gallery in the nearby city of Lismore. We stayed in Cawongla for a few weeks and relaxed on their quiet 10 acre property, and I even saw a few wallabies around the house.
Guido was offered a job teaching by the Department of Defense in Melbourne, so off to Melbourne we went! It took us a couple of weeks to find a place to live, but we finally found a great two bedroom townhouse in Seddon, a nice suburb of Melbourne. We love our place, and Guido is really liking his new job. We're still getting to know Melbourne, but so far, we think it's a great city. There are a lot a great shops, cute cafes, and delicious, cheap restaurants. The beaches are nearby, and not too crowded (although it is fall right now). We're sure we'll grow to love it since it looks like we're staying here a while.
Here are more pictures!
