Brisbane and so on. . .

Welp, as if things couldn't be going any better. I will officially be living on the beaches of Sydney (Queenscliff)come July. A five minute walk to Manly Beach, great running along the coast and surfing galore. I will be keeping a nine month old little girl named Emily whose parents I've allready skyped and seem to be super chill and sweet. I will have a ton of free time and the whole month of september/october to travel and see anything I might have missed along the way. Seriously looking forward to this one, especially after I buy a board!
Brisbane is absolutely great so far, no complaining here. The boys keep me company when they're not at school, so far "the crepe game" is an all time hit, don't ask. Basically I run after them and if I catch them they roll on the ground like a crepe and have to name a filling (chocolate, sugar, berries etc.)I seriously think I could be slightly delusional when I come up with some of these things. But if I wear them out it only takes one good book to put them into snooze mode by the end of the day. Easy cheesy.
It feels good to be back in a routine of some sort. The Koala Conservation Park is right up the street. It's the largest Koala reservation in the world. Incredible bike trails and hiking paths through beautiful wildlife. Note:Kookabura's sound like monkeys (slightly annoying at 5am) and the rainbow parakeet is magical to see fly in front of you. I wake up every morning with a fresh cuppa (coffee) and a long run or bike at the park. My new favorite song for the uphill part is Men at Work-got to keep on moving,download if you havent allready.
South Bank is my favorite part of town. Hung out at the man-made beach which is smack in the middle and then watched sunset over the city from the Goodwill Bridge. The walk back was the best part, the promanade runs between the river and cultural gardens. The arbor overhead provides a canopy of fuscia flowers and glowing paper lanterns. If this place hasn't been in a movie, it will be soon. I wonder how many proposals happen there? There is always a pluster of different cultures wondering around as aimlessly as me. This place gives new meaning to perfectly lonely, so relaxing. The live music every evening is the cherry on top. Modern, hip and just plain entertaining. Hopefully headed soon to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast which are both convieniently located outside of Brisbane. That will have to be a blog in and of itself. Untill then my friends, "nothing to do, nowhere to be, a simple little kind of free. . . i'm perfectly lonely."
