We signed a contract for a months rent in a unit about 10 mins walk up the road from Coogee where we were before.
The area we are in now is a minutes walk to a place called 'the spot' - a bustling restaurant filled area in the vicinity of Randwick. Randwick is one of the main towns in east Sydney, just like Bondi Junction where we work, but a little cheaper.
We have been living in this two bedroom place while the current owners have been away for work/going overseas over Christmas. They sublet it to us for $300 per week (between the two of us) which is a extremely cheap here, and considering how nice it is compared to some of the shockers we've viewed.
It's been perfect for us but we will soon have to move on as our contract ends on the 15th January - the day we go to Melbourne to see the tennis at the Australian Open. So I've been looking around for new places the past few days. Hopefully we can find something short term again, in a decent spot.
The original plan was to move on to Melbourne and stay there after seeing the tennis... But since we haven't yet sold the van (which we put up for sale just before Xmas) and Tom's contract at work expires a lot later than nine, it makes sense to stay here in Sydney a little longer. Also gives us time to search for reliable opportunities for Regional Work (see upcoming post).
Anyway now I've finished rambling, here's the pics of the pad...
Enjoying watching the tennis on Foxtel!
