New House - Hopefully!
We put an offer on a property a couple of weeks ago and it didn't get up - I had a bad feeling we were aiming a little too high with that one, so we put it down to fate and moved on. Several property viewing later and we happened across a place that ticked almost all our boxes (although sadly no pool - but I can live with that), so we called the agent.
We also began heading up to the area to do a "drive-by", which turned out well as the agent couldn't make it, but informed the owners and they showed us around instead! Long story short - we've put in an offer and it's been accepted, so now we're anxious about the finance, but generally feeling good about it. We have a good feeling about the place - it seems to be in a family oriented street so with some luck Oscar will make some new friends. 
It's in Narangba which was the area we wanted to get to. 15 minute walk to the train (or 3 minutes by car), good schools in the area, and generally speaking an all round nice place to be - though of course time will tell! We may end up just hating living "out in the country" but something tells me that won't be the case. We have some good friends in the area and that will help. Wild Weather
Brisbane has had a rough old summer, with some record breaking storms, and the transition to "Winter" is shaping up to be just as varied! We've gone from a 5 year drought to 70% full reservoirs in a matter of 5 months - this week alone Brisbane received 1 third it's annual rainfall in two days! Chaos of course - roads shut everywhere and the whole city essentially stopped for a day or two as people struggled to and from work - one week I'm pleased I wasn't on my bike!
