Settling into my new home in Annerley, Queensland, Australia

Well when I returned from PNG on Monday, 29 August 2011, I officially moved to my godmother's place in Annerley, a suburb in Brisbane, Queensland (QLD.)  The following day I was approved by Mission Australia NEIS  to commence the Certificate IV in Small Business BSB40407course on the Tuesday, 30 August 2011.  So once again I am settling into a new place.

As per my previous Posts

Australia

My sister Jo and I would spend our school holidays in Brisbane, if we were unable to go home to PNG during the Australian school holidays.  So it was here in Annerley we would come to, I remember the time when I was around 16 years of age that aunt Sondra, told me I could catch the bus to town and back. Back in Kootingal, my uncle and aunt were so strict, and they had reasons to be in those days, that I was surprised that this aunt was not putting restrictions on me.

I have been up the top (as I have to walk up a slope to get to the Annerley shops) so I always tell my aunt that I'm heading up the top.  It seems like a lovely suburb, heaps of Queenslanders. All these  times when I used to come here for school holidays when I could not go home to PNG, I never once wandered around Annerley.  I used to always just catch the city bus on Ipswich Road (up the top) and head straight to Brisbane city, then come back.

My current home is a Queenslander (the style of houses specifically designed in Queensland, of which most are absolutely beautiful), and ours is a nice insulated one so it is nice and warm from the cold.  There are some Queenslanders especially the older type that can get extremely cold in the winter time.  My oldest godbrother Matthew, is an architect and had modified his family home quite well, it has that country look and feel about it.  He had inserted a skyline in the kitchen area and when you go out on the balcony, you would not think you were not living in the city.  I have been enjoying sitting out on the balcony reading my course folder and whatever, I feel like I am in some tree top area or out in the country, you would think you were not living in the city.  If I ever settle or invest in an investment property I would love to buy a Queenslander one day.  I have been told in the past to chose carefully especially with the older style ones.  So I would really have to do my homework whether I want to buy and old Queenslander or the more modern style of Queenslander.
