Six months ago tomorrow we landed in Darwin having flown from the moderately chilly Aberdeen to the baking hot Darwin! What a six months it has been, there has been so much to get used to; the temperature and humidity, the countryside, new job, new house and school and some great new people.
Today though seems a good day to announce though that we have a busy six weeks ahead of us as it is all change in the Funnell household.
Firstly a week on Sunday we welcome our first visitor from the UK in the form of Aunty Jo. She is staying until mid October and then on 25th October we are on the move again! Not quite as far as Aberdeen to Darwin but still another reasonable move - we are off to Cairns in Northern Queensland.
Tish starts work at Cairns Private Hospital on 5th November!
We have loved our time here but all told we are looking forward to the move - everyone says that Cairns is lush and very scenic with the mountains and the Great Barrier Reef, on a practical level it is also considerably cheaper to rent accommodation - and there is a wider selection available as well!
More details will follow in the next few weeks!
Cairns is just full of wonderful things to do! You can scare yourself silly bungy jumping..... You can go out snorkelling or diving with parrots that have scales not feathers and potato cod the size of small whales...... You can fall off horses and break your wrist (and have it set at the hospital where Tish is going I think!). My word, no end to the stuff you can get up to - make sure you have good medical insurance!
