Goodbye Whitby St!!!!

Only our house for a year but it's been packed full of memories. What a shame that the farewell photo had to be taken on bin day.



Goodbye to the side garden where many "soccer", rugby and cricket matches were played out.


Goodbye to the garage. Haven for our rusting Ford and many tight table tennis matches.



Goodbye to the Verandah. Where several evening drinks were had and several torrential downpours and thunderstorms were viewed.



Goodbye to the Kitchen. Tina's Kangaroo stew will take some beating.



Goodbye to the kitchen table. Scene of many hours of negotiating with Alex to have "just one more mouthful"



Goodbye to the Study AKA blog nerve centre and the focus point for many hours of mediocre lesson planning.



Goodbye to Alex's bedroom. A place of not enough sleeping and too much Nintendo DS playing.




Goodbye to Jessica's bedroom. Which came alive every morning when mother and daughter argued over hairbrushing.



Goodbye to our bedroom. Where we .............................slept.



Goodbye to the Bathroom. Best venue for Cockroach splatting.



Goodbye to the Lounge and the "viewroom". Best locations for winding down and watching Lost or 24 or Doctor Who or Prison Break or.....



alternatively just soaking up the views to the lake and mountains.



So we moved our life out of Whitby St and put it into 14 containers of various shapes and sizes on the front lawn.



After 3o minures delay and having pulled Tina away from last minute toilet cleaning we stepped into the Happy Cabby Karaoke bus. Ready to begin the three hour drive to the Airport.



Gloria was there to wave us goodbye and make sure the Poms were indeed going to leave the country.
