Living on the top of down under

We're moved in to our apartment in Toowong and enjoying the nice rental furniture until our stuff gets here. Our apartment is on the top floor, but the bldg. is only 5 stories, so no vertigo problems.

Having a pool is nice, since it gets pretty hot in the middle of the day. The first day of Fall is today, so temps should begin to ease up. (Australia starts it's seasons on the first day of month rather than on the Solstice and Equinox dates.)

This the view from the balcony looking North-westerly, toward the Taylor Range of "mountains" we can see the famous Mount Coot-tha. ( Australia is such an old continent that the highest mountain here is only 7,310 ft. above sea level.)

Here's the view North-easterly, looking toward the city center. As you can see, we still live right in the city. We're only 1 block from the train station, 3 blocks from the River Cat Ferry stop, and right on the bus line. Jeff only has to ride a block and a half to get to the bike rode that takes him all the way to to the Eagle Street Pier, where he works. He rides along the river and through the City Botanical Garden for 30 minutes or so each way.
