We spent the week catching up with everyone and trying (some
might call it failing) to pack for our move. It was a whirl wind event. On
Friday the 15th June 2012 we flew back to Alice where a worker from my new office picked
Michael and myself up and drove us to our new apartment (provided by my new
employer The department of children and families NT). Initially the oven, the
bedroom lights and the bathroom sink didn’t work, but within the week all was
well. I started my new job on Monday the 18th and although a little
slow to kick off, it is turning out to be very interesting, albeit a challenge.
I currently have a few roles at work which keep me pretty busy, but at least
I’m earning my amazing pay check! Michael is looking for work and just settling
in to the Alice life style.
Michael and I visited
a couple of local landmarks too, we travelled to Simpsons Gap in the West Macs and
Emily’s Gap, Jessie’s Gap and Corroboree Rock in the East. The local landmarks
are beautiful. In fact I think we’re going to like it here – everyday is sunny
and although the nights are cold, we have a roof over ourselves to make it seem
a lot warmer than it did in the camper. The Hulk is currently sitting outside
waiting for his next adventure, which shouldn’t be far away.
This blog may slow down in pace for a few months (you may
have already noticed this over the past few weeks!), but eventually we plan to
finish the rest of our trip, so I promise many more entries in the year or two
to come.
Lesson of the week: Although money isn’t everything, it sure
is nice!
