New Spot

So I finally got to move into the new place and it really is epic!! Was a bit of a mission moving and unpacking but my brother and his wife helped out so the majority of it gone done really quickly. The housemates are all pretty cool and sociable so it shouldn't be too hard making friends here.

The waves have been going mad today and yesterday. Tomorrow is going to be even better. There's about 1km of beachbreaks to choose from and then on the right hand headland is an awesome reefbreak called Winkipop/The Bower. When it lines up it's epic. Very similar to Vetchi's reef and just as dangerous. Shaggy got a few stitches on his foot there a few weeks ago. Anyway, check the photos (taken from the balcony). Oh ja - the cockatoos are the local wild birds here. Pretty weird after only ever seeing them in cages. And the flat I'm in is the one on the first floor and the blue car is yours truly's.

Still no final word on the job yet. Waiting for approval of the roles from London at this stage. So I am on holiday for a little bit longer - lukka!! Unfortunately I had to go to some follow up interviews and a backup one so gave the snowboarding a miss (not a problem when the surfs cooking).

Oh ja - they're changing the visa rules here from Sept to make it easier so I will qualify again on the points system. You now need to have only worked 12 of the last 24 months! hmmmm - maybe time for some more travels! ;o)
