Happy New Year to all!
The news of today is that we finally secured internet access at our house so we are able to communicate with the outside world once again.
There is much to report but short summary is ...
We got here pretty much all in once piece - all but the cello that ended up arriving in a few more pieces than one. We have been sleeping a lot to catch up on all the sleep we didn't get on the ride over.
Our home is beautiful, especially the surrounding land. It is filled with beautiful trees and flowers and many kangaroos. Skyler reported back that she saw 23 on her first walk around the grounds.
We are just starting to get settled and used to the many cultural differences between Maine and Yarra Junction. The Australians have been amazingly pleasant and patient with our (my) American blunders.
We are on our third day as a car free family and I think we are becoming the talk of Yarra Junction. We biked / jogged past a nursery school on our way home from the store today. The children out front could not stop giggling as they watched our group pass.
Cheers,
Nord
