Figured I might as well show some pictures of my place. I haven't taken any of my 2 roommates yet but they will come when I can actually find them at home. The place still looks great cause the apt building is only 6 months old, very nice and new.

Here is our living room, my contribution being the tv that I bought for the place.The dining room table that might get used if I didn't eat on the sofa. But it's gorgeous the one Victoria bought, all leather with glass top.
The kitchen, ta da.
Over looking our balcony onto our great view of the Great Eastern Highway in front. It's actually not very busy like I thought and you can hardly hear the traffic from the inside.
A picture of the big balcony with my laundry drying. There are glass doors from the living room that open up to it and also glass doors from the master bedroom (Audrey's room) open up onto it. We will probably get some table or chairs to sit out there because there are lots of room.
My new queen size bed I bought but the sheets are only temporary, I borrowed them from Audrey. Actually I just bought some good black and white ones this week and plan to start using them this weekend.
The crap beside my bed, I haven't exactly bought a dresser or anything else yet for my bedroom yet, it's on my list for later.
A shot of part of my closet, as you can see still living out of the suitcase. But I do have a few hangers to hang the suit and shirts. And nice mirror doors on closet so I can use them to make myself all handsome and shit.
The small free weight room in my complex. I want to start using it but there are not enough weights for what I usually use but I think I might just buy a few instead of joining a gym, it would be way cheaper. Oh, there's also a sauna in the back.
A view of the middle of the apt complex. We have a pool and jaquzzi and a free barbeque, gotta love that! :-) There is also a little common room beside where you can hang with friends on couchs, keep your beers cold or play a game of pool.
Another shot of the pool so you can see the whole thing. It's actually quite large. Bigger than a backyard pool but smaller than professional sized pool. It's long enough to do laps or to goof around with friends. The only downfall is that there is no deepend, it's 1.2m depth all across which is ok thou.
One of the corridors in the complex, it's actually our stairwell leading up to our apartment.
My Integra! :-)
It's the 3rd company car that I'm using since it's just lying around. I'll pick up the payments for lease but way easier and cheaper than me trying to lease a new car like I was looking into. Plus it's in the company name so I don't have to worry about selling it at the end.
Plus it's nice and fast and a little suped up. :-)

My first AFL game I went to see over here. It was a pre-season game between the 2 westcoast teams the Eagles and Dockers so obviously alot of heated rivalry.

Huge grounds they play on. The game is very similar to rugby with differences in the rules, at least that's what I say as an outsider view but any Aussie would rebute this but hey I don't exactly know the rules of either really.

So there are 4 poles at each end. If you kick it through the middle 2 it's 6 points but if you kick it through either of the outside sets it's only worth 1 point. You don't run into the endzone, all the points are from kicking ball through the posts.

This was also the day before the germans left for the east coast that were staying at Hollee's, I met them in Exmouth. And I also moved out myself the next day, so her place is alot more empty and quiet now.




This interesting motorcycle limo I say down by the beach of Cottesloe. The front is harley front with a cab in the back where you can be inside at the bar or seat on the outdoor seats at the back. Never seen this kind of design before so had to take pictures.

Well I finally moved out of the living room of my friend's place I've been crashing at into my own bedroom at an apt. I found this really nice place and I'm living with 2 wonderful girls as roommates. So it's an Aussie, Brit and Canadian living together, kinda sounds like the start of a joke eh.
So I just moved in this weekend and mought myself a new Queen size bed too! :-) The apt complex has a pool, spa, small gym, common room with pool table and a sauna. Can you see why I like this place!?
Plus it's alot closer to work but still only a 10-15min bus ride in city, that is until I find time to get a car.

So I'll take some pictures soon and post them of the apt and my room. I'm just happy to have my own bed to sleep in! Plus I have some pics from the AFL footy match I went to see last week. Pretty interesting sport, fast and lots of scoring. Here's hoping that it will fill my hockey void.
