You may be relieved to know that there was a happy ending to the flat hunting saga so i'll stop boring you with the intricacies of the rental market. Yep, Martin came up trumps (once again)!
He responded to a gum tree advert and by a stroke of luck or a small miracle, it turned out to be 1000 times nicer than any other place we’d seen and ticked all the boxes (almost). We handed over the money immediately.

Only one small problem… no furniture. As we arrived in Sydney with 2 suitcases and a 6 man tent, this was a bit of a problem.
But fear not, in Sydney they have ‘Council clean ups’. Twice a year the council drive around and collect unwanted furniture so people literally chuck their chintz out onto the street.It’s perfectly socially acceptable (apparently) to curb crawl around the neighbourhood helping yourself to other people’s rubbish. So that’s exactly what we did.
We found ourselves a huge colour tele which actually works (see below) and 2 directors chairs for the balcony (see above).

We got a few more bargains on gum tree before a final supermarket sweep around Ikea. Sorted. |
