Photo mega post!

Are you ready for this?

We finally have internet in our apartment, so I can upload a bunch of pictures for you! Hooray!

Pre-departure in Calgary. 6 suitcases to check, plus 4 carry-ons. The bellboy at the hotel was a little concerned that we wanted to put all of this luggage into our rental Kia Forte.

Getting ready to board our plane in YVR.

This is really happening!

Some bubbly in business class, whilst the rest of the passengers (unwashed masses) board.

This is the life!

On the ground in Brisbane.

One of two very full luggage carts. The cab drivers were laughing at us as we rolled up to the taxi line... Luckily there was a van cab that fit all of our stuff.

Real beer and ginger beer.

Couldn't resist buying this!

Phew, I was worried that stress incontinence wouldn't receive proper recognition in this country.

At a Canada Day BBQ on the Sunday after we arrived.

First try at picking up our car. This was as close as we got, but we did get a free coffee out of the deal so all was not lost.

Magnets from home. (Thanks Michelle!)

Second visit to dealership. We got closer...

We even got inside!

Air shipment arrives, plus a houseplant from Mom and Dad!

At the Queensland Reds game.

The view from our temporary apartment in Spring Hill.

Driving the car away from the dealership!!!!

New BBQ, which we christened with...

Shrimp on the Barbie!

Cheeky beer brand at the Bottle-O

View from our balcony (not sure why there was a police car on the river pathway though...)

On the CityCat with the Story Bridge in the background.

At our second Queensland Reds game! They lost this one, and the season ended, but we're all kitted out for next year!

New patio furniture!

More!

Sweat in the City bootcamp with Carrie Bradshaw (blue hat)

What a delectable place to live!
