i think it's safe to say that the reason we don't post so eagerly on this blog anymore is because we've settled into life in the southern hemisphere and aren't as bewildered by things enough to write about them. that isn't to say we don't still find sydney and its nature breathtakingly beautiful, that we aren't still drooling over a delicious brunch every weekend, or that we aren't still photographing cute milk froth illustrations in our coffees. we are. but it's become familiar to us. which is nice to finally feel settled in a new place. unfortunately, now that we feel this way, it's time to go. the countdown has begun and we are down to 3 weeks.
since we've last been in touch, we had another northerner make her way down under and we got to see this place again with new eyes through her. she was also impressed with sydney's loveliness and australian coffee. and equally annoyed at the amount of time sydney pedestrians are forced to spend everyday waiting at traffic lights - this city is badly in need of a danish urban planner. as well as how expensive everything is here, particularly australia's bread and butter: wine.
we also hit up another state with our visitor: quaint and rugged tasmania. and since we're coming down to our final days here, our last blog posts will probably serve as an homage to the place we've called home over the last nine months. in this installment, i leave you with a scenes from the 4 out of 7 states we managed to visit in this vast country.
in order: the mountains of new south wales, victoria's coastline, tropical queensland, a tasmanian lake, oh and a quintessential shot of bondi.
EDIT: there are 8 states and we've visited 5. i left off home of the capital itself - ACT. how could i? photo is forthcoming.
