Almost the end of February...

It has been a while since my last post... But with any luck, things will start moving along a little quicker. We are hopefully settling on our land in the next week, unfortunately it hasn't had all services connected but that should be completed in March. Our builder has told us from settlement it will take about 12 to 14 weeks to get started (6 weeks of that is council) so we're looking at starting in May or June. Really hoping to be in by Christmas.

Googong township has finally opened- 11 of the 12 display homes are open. There's a mix of homes but most of them are quite large... Some great and some that are not our taste.

We went to a welcome event on Wednesday night, we were running quite late but met a couple of future residents and some googong staff. Also got a nice bottle of Moët which we will have to keep keep to celebrate moving in.

Hopefully I'll have some good news within the week!
