Our Location

A few people have asked for pictures of where we live, so here you go. It takes 5 minutes to walk to Central Station, 5 minutes to walk to China Town (CHEAP FOOD!!), and about 7 minutes walk to where the Real World House was in Darling Harbour. When the Pope was here i managed to walk to the Opera House in 15 minutes........... well it ws more of a run, but basically we live in a great location and you can walk everywhere.

This is our street. Our house is the white one with the arrow pointing to it that says our house.
We live right next door to a Malaysian Food Restaurant, and across the street from this Thai place. It takes literally 10 seconds to walk from our living room and place a take away order. This is a picture taken from our front door.

This is a picture of the city taken about 50 meters from our house on the corner of our street.


For those of you that didn't know, we are in the middle of winter right now. That is why there are no leaves on the trees. It is about 55 F. Some people actually celebrate Christmas in July to have the cold weather. Everybody else does Christmas at the beach in the middle of summer. This is all very strange, but i'm getting used to it. I'm not sure if i have mentioned this before or not, but the toilets flush in the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. The first thing i did when i landed in Australia was go into the bathroom and find this out for myself. And its true. Mind boggling i know.
