New homes...

Ok so I've spent all week orgnaising Oz related things. We now have two itinaries to get there. Last night we decided that it was stupid to want to live in Sydney - Here's why....

Aall of these searches involve a min of 300 Aus Dollars and a max of 400 a week. That's the equivalent of renting my own house out.


Sydney I can afford to live in a flat, in a block with distant views of the sea.(350 a week) A place like this...









however, if we live somewhere else... Let's try Melbourne. (that's another big city) this one has a large lounge with gas heater, formal dining area leading to kitchen/meals area with plenty of cupboard space. 3 good size bedrooms, main with study area. Polished floorboards throughout. Large bathroom with sep. toilet. Laundry leading to low maintenance backyard with fernery. Also includes single LUG. Pets OK.

Would love to know what a LUG is??






and if we go to live in Brisbaine....
I can live here....
in Mango Hill...
where there is a communal....
It would be like living in Joey's apartment block only we'd be living in a "3 bedroom lowset. air conditioned living areas, ensuite, DLUG, gas & electric kitchen appliances, gated complex, pool, BBQ, close to schools, childcare facilities, shops & bus at side entrance to complex" That;s for 310 AUD a week. (about £125 a week)

Crazy isn't it!
Mango Hill and Brisbane are in Northern Oz where it's hottest - sunny sunny sunny...
What a decision we have to make eh?

Where shall we live?
and what the hell is a LUG???? ??? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??? ?
