In our first week in Moranbah we did a fair bit, Andy was working for the full week, and I tried to amuse myself in the house, with only the contents of our suitcases for company. All our cards are up in the kitchen and front room, it’s great because the few people who have seen them all (about 100+) think we were really popular back in England – haha! My presents from Caroline and Mum are on display beneath the TV, I look through them loads, and my mp3 player from SITS is an absolute saviour as my CD’s and player are on the boat and won’t get here until late October. I bought some little speakers with me so have been using it as a stereo as well as with the headphones at the beach! We went to the cinema (oh yes!) to watch War of the Worlds, it has 2 screens and shows 3 films a week, you buy the tickets at the same place you buy your huge tub of popcorn, which is quite quaint, not so good when you taste the popcorn and realised you’ve bought a tonne of salted popcorn – bleurgh (this is going to be a problem as there doesn’t seem to be sweet popcorn available anywhere!)! We have also eaten out at KFC and a little café/restaurant called the Purple Grape which was very nice, and had a takeaway from Domino’s Pizza! I think we managed to cook one meal at the house! We have opened bank accounts and I enrolled at the library which is pretty good, particularly considering the extortionate price of books in Australia. They are approximately double the price you’d pay in England, an average paperback costs about £12!
