We're back in Australia

Yep, it's true...we're back down under and enjoying what's left of Summer while we plan the next stages of our life together. It wasn't an easy decision to make but we felt it was the right one as our budget was running low and we wanted to make sure we had enough time to explore potential places to settle down and join the real world once again.  South America just wasn't in the cards for us this time but it's definitely still on the radar.

We surprised family and friends here by literally just showing up on doorsteps or in lounge rooms, the surpised looks on some faces were priceless. We've been back for about two weeks and in that time have bought a car, planned a two month roadtrip and visited with many family and friends. Yes, we've been busy.

What's Next?
The honeymoon is not over yet! We've still got at least two more months of travel left in us while we conduct a thorough search of places to live and work between Batemans Bay, New South Wales and Bundaberg, Queensland. As of now the short list of places to live are beachside properties in and around Kingscliff, New South Wales but we really need to visit many places to be sure which is right for us.

Our Roadtrip

Here's the tentative plan/timeline for our roadtrip beginning tomorrow:
2 weeks Batemans Bay, NSW
1 week Sydney, NSW
2 weeks Forster, NSW

1 week Coffs Harbour, NSW
1 week Gold Coast, QLD

1 week Sunshine Coast, QLD
2 weeks Bundaberg, QLD
***Settle Down Somewhere***

 

We'll also be throwing in some fun on our roadtrip. We plan on working on our surfing skills, fishing, boating, bushwalking, sightseeing and just relaxing on the beach. The free time should also get us caught up on blog posts, of which we're behind by many. So please stay tuned for more posts from our time overseas, upcoming surfing adventures and house/job/life hunting.

Cheers for Now -

Pamela and Dave
