It's been a bit since I updated; I am sorry for leaving you in the dark for so long but here is a quick catchup to what is going on in the world of a Dixie Gypsy in Oz:
I had been living in a cruddy neighborhood with a friend for a couple months and finally found a place where I can settle in for bit and be away from the city while close to work and with enough land for horses. I found this place in Alligator Creek, that's right folks, ALLIGATOR creek. Weird. It has it all. It has solar heating and raincatching barrels and bore water plus city water. 2 1/2 acres, a pool, three bedrooms, a large open plan kitchen/living/dining area, a back deck, two verandahs a mango orchard containing 13 mature mango trees, a creek "alligator creek" separating the front and back paddock. A really awesome shed where I can have my reptiles, nice gardens and a chook (chicken) coup minus the fencing, a large house yard for the dogs, a peacock, yeah, a nice handsome peacock named Jorge, mountian views with multicoloured sunsets in the background of jorge flanuting himself in the front paddock, wallabies in the morning and evening, warring kookaburrahs, flocks of lories, several other specie of bird, spectacular star shows at night. Needless to say, massive upgrade, here are the pics:

| Nice little pool to cool down in the summer :) | | |

| Hammocks and a BBQ on the back verandah |

So pretty sweet digs! It's only a ten minute drive to work too (I will cover where I work in my next update)!
As a bonus of course, it's only a 15 minute drive to Cungulla beach and when the tide is low you can walk forever... I like to go there with the dogs after work. :)
Life is good.
