After a fairly uneventful flight on Friday, everything has finally fallen into place. The apartment's beautiful, it's in a great location and the neighbourhood is pretty darn nice (but Mum must *not* know that the casino is right outside our front door).
Melbourne is a beautiful city. We're right next to the West Gate Freeway, but the traffic noise is fairly minimal. There are a lot of trees along the streets, high-rise buildings are fairly scarce and there's a real village atmosphere. The South Melbourne Markets are less than five minutes' walk from here and are a revelation... if you want it, chances are you'll find it at the markets. I'll be heading down there on Wednesday for fresh produce and on Friday I plan to buy out a stallholder's stash of spiderweb lace (it comes in three colours!)
There are so many things available here that you wouldn't have a hope of finding in Brisbane... I have finally tracked down a tea shop that sells roast barley tea and Maccha/Matcha (powdered green tea, the key ingredient in green tea ice cream).
Will post pics once I have finished unpacking and am a little more organised.

Whoo hoo for getting there and everything falling into place.
It's funny you mention the markets, I have never been to those ones! Maybe when we come to melb we have to go on the friday, stay over and go to the markets on the saturday... might be a nice little thing... or come on saturday and leave on sunday. will have to talk to the posse.
spiderweb fabric? how uberly cool. I think I have decided what I want to make out of the fabric you sent me :) Now that I have the overlocker - I might actually make it tomorrow! :)
Why would your mother have a problem with the casino?
Sounds like a plan. We have a double bed which is currently unoccupied. :)
Mum is a demon for the pokies... That's why she shouldn't know about the Crown.
And overlockers are just totally cool. Like broadband, they're not essential; but once you've used one, you never want to go back to using zig-zag stitch.
The double bed would be very cool, however we need to be able to sleep three adults (my mummy is coming with).
If you are looking for people to visit with in Melb, the AB crowd have quite a few playgroups/meets going on...
Haha.. pokies!
Oh... can you email me (infoatdesignsbykristiedotcom) with your new address please? :)
