No house, no car...

As of last night all we own in Australia is what we have managed to fit in our suitcases. We handed back the keys to our rental last Friday - this was a bit sad as we really liked where the house was located and the people in the neighbourhood (but not the actual house as many of you would already know). And last night the buyer for our car came and picked it up - this was also a bit sad as when we bought the car we were planning on keeping it for a while (definitely longer than 1.5 years) and we enjoyed how we could go anywhere, do anything with it. In the time we owned it we did manage to use it off road a bit including Fraser Island, Upper Portals of Mount Barney, and to get to the Steamers in Main Range National Park (twice - 1 failed and 1 successful attempt). It is a relief to have all the big things sorted out, but it does make the fact we are actually leaving more of a reality (not just a long list of to do jobs like it has been for the past month). With less than a week to go we are now into the procession of 'last' events - last playgroup, last mothers group, last day at work, last bible study, last day at church etc.
