Moving to the Blue Mountains
dis_senter and I are moving to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains is an absolutely gorgeous National Park with an area of over 247000 hectares. My current user pic was taken there.

We found a place to rent on Wednesday and we're moving in two weeks. I am beyond excited.

These photos don't really do the mountains justice but they can give you an idea.


Waterfalls like this are all throughout the park. One summer dis_senter and I spent a week roaming the bush and swimming in every waterfall we could find.


Here are the three sisters. They always remind me of me and my two sisters closest in age.


Anyway, our new home has space for guests and is quite beautiful. There are two north facing bedrooms with a small sunroom attached. They are drenched in sunlight and should be nice and warm. There is carpet in the bedrooms but the rest of the house has polished floorboards. There is a fireplace in the loungeroom and the kitchen is one of those old fashioned rustic ones, it is really very beautiful. There is another larger sunroom out the back looking out onto a really cute garden.

I'm planning a veggie garden and dis_senter is planning the bush walks. We will end up living an ideal 18th century life. Reading, writing, walking, cooking, gardening. I'm also thinking about buying a piano as I've always wanted to learn how to play.

Supposedly, there is a large lesbian community up there too and they have lesbian bushwalking groups and things so that will be something to look into.

But I'm so excited. Living in the Blue Mountains has been my dream since dis_senter and I spent that week exploring in 2004. So, yay, for me.
