House hunting....Day 1

Can I first say....it shouldn't be legal to give an American a car with the steering wheel on the wrong side, blinkers on the wrong side, windshield wipers on the wrong side to drive all over Australia on the wrong side of the street. NOT a good thing! Brandon and I lost several years of our lives today. We get to do it again tomorrow :) Thank goodness for GPS (or Nav Man as Aussie's call it)

We looked at 4 different homes and our favorite are the renovated "Queenslander" style. These homes are the original homes in Queensland, Australia. They are raised up off the ground with picket fencing (for lack of better word) under them to allow for a breeze to blow and circulate under the home. This is supposed to keep the homes cooler in the summer. They have a lot of beautiful wood work throughout. They have huge wrap around porches that double as living space.

The kids seem to have a huge opinion in a home. They want a pool.
