Belated update on too much activity!

It's been a busy month since I last put a post here, so here's a very brief update:

* moved into the new house, with hugely welcome help from mates. Still a few boxes left to unpack, but we're starting to feel settled.
* no sooner were we in the new house, than we were off to the airport for 10 days in NSW. Whoah is it cold in the southern highlands compared to Brissy!
* went to a NASA deep space tracking station in Tidbinbilla, then sat and watched 4 Platypi cruising around happily in a pond at one of the most peaceful places I've been too. Fantastic.
* went to Jervis Bay National Park, and found more incredibly peaceful places to relax and wildlife. Lovely.
* showed off Skye's increasingly large bump to as many family and friends as we could manage :)
* We were picked up at the airport back in Brissy by Dan and Delia, then back to our new house. Beautiful day at Noosa the next day, managed to find a Goanna, a Koala and a turtle, and a few tanned nudists on Alexandra Beach...
* Soon after Dan and Delia had left, David and Lyndsey came to visit - we found another couple of peaceful spots on Tamborine Mountain, and got started on DIY around the house.

I've posted the photos we took during the Easter trip to NSW here on fatcat.
