And they call it the Sunshine State...

Greetings,

Kat and I finally arrived at Burrum Heads, where John and Sandra, Kat's parents, live. The last couple of days, quite a lot has happened.
We stayed over at Angela's place and I have already been to a birthdayparty of one of Kat's nieces and to a christening of one of Kat's nephews.
Something I learned is that it is never too early here to start drinking. That might take a little bit of getting used too.
When a party starts at 10 'o clock in the morning, it's already 28ÂșC outside and people crack open their first beers.

Today is the second day of sunshine in a row and that is supposed to be normal, but it hasn't been the last week. The trip from Brisbane to Burrum Heads took about 3,5 hours and was non-stop rain. Roads have been flooded everywhere.
It all looks really pretty despite of it.

Burrum Heads is a real small village with less then 1000 inhabitants and really quiet. We live a 100 meters from the beach and you hear absolutely nothing except the sounds of nature. We're surrounded by national parks, ocean and nature.
More to come today I hope, I have seen a lot.

Just no real good pictures yet, but they will come

  1. Sounds like you're enjoying yourselve if you even like the rain ;)
    So enjoy it and try not to get too much of a culture-shock.
