January in Brisbane

Here we are, new country, new job/new school, new life. We've been in Brisbane for 10 days now, and I've grew accustomed with the city organization. The suburbs organization should I say.

St Lucia, Kangaroo Point, Taringa, Toowong, Indooroopilly, Wooloongabba: no doubt... I'm now in a subtropical region, but moreover, an exotic one. For the past few days we have been trying to find a neighborhood that we could call home, and we have found one. Indooroopilly it is!
We'll keep you in the loop and post pictures of the house as soon as we move in.

Meanwhile, one has to keep the kids busy to prevent extreme boredom and fights between siblings! Thanks god for Australia's natural treasures and particularities, we've been visiting the Koalas and Kangaroos among other local creatures, at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary http://www.koala.net/. We even have a year-round family membership!


Don't they look happy?!
The University of Queensland Campus itself is a tropical garden, with gigantic lizards out-of-this-world (out-of-my-world anyway!), great variety of vegetation, lorikeets, multicolor birds, turtles, and monster bats... More pics to come, be patient.
That's it for today, so far so good. Future is looking bright!
