I have now lived in Australia for about 11 years, and I can say that I am enjoying it as an experience. Australia is a calm country, unlike some of the countries I have lived in! We have no risk of fascists taking over or becoming a police state, actually life is remarkably calm, life goes on calmly.
We have built our house, and are living in it now……
A Goana…… Huge lizards that they have around here. They are about 3 meters long!
A male Koala that once visited us…. Generally we hear them, but not see them.
A real nuisance, these creatures are everywhere! And destroy everything they see…….. Cockatoos if you are in doubt.
Lotty working away on one of our decks….. this was about 7 meters high!
An army of Cockatoos….. on our deck!
Our son and his children…. On their deck.
Our comfortable home…….
To give an idea of how high our building is……..
The completed house…… All except for the deck on the low side of the house…. This is now completed with a grape plant…. Which gives grapes in the summer, and gives us shade in the summer too.
Tis is how it is now….. The front balcony has grapes on it!
And it offers’ us shelter too.
All in all, we have it damn alright right now……. And are very content living in Australia, and love our house, which we built ourselves, really. And we are enjoying were we live… Actually, all is good in our lives right now
