Look out Melbourne, here I come!
Posted August 27th, 2009.
Well today’s the day, my partner and I are leaving Sydney and moving down to Melbourne, exciting. Less exciting is the 10 hour drive to get the car down there, but what can you do.
Obviously this is going to be a busy couple of weeks getting everything sorted out. While I won’t be available for a fortnight or so I’ll be checking messages as best I can so you’re still welcome to get in touch if you have an inquiry.
Off we go!
Until we meet again, au revoir.
Update: We’re here!
We’ll, it’s been over a week of living out of our suitcases while staying at the fabulous Chateau de Friends-Couch ( thanks Claire ) but we’ve now signed the lease to our new house and all is well.
So far Melbourne’s been great, here a quick run down:
Pros:
- Real estate prices ( the reason we moved from Sydney ).
- Traffic? What traffic.
- South Melbourne: everyone loves Century Gothic.
- The James Squire brewery, see you there!
Cons:
- East Melbourne, everyone loves Papyrus…
- Public transport leaves something to be desired I’m told.
- The James Squire brewery, I’ll have to be dragged away.
So here we are.
A few days of unpacking, 2 weeks worth of blogging to catch up on, then it’s back to work.


Hi Andrew. Welcome to Melbourne! Just in time for summer, I hope you like the heat :P
You’re not the first person to tell me I’m going to hate the summer Samm, the really good news is my cars air-con is broken at the moment…
