Our final day in Narrabeen
We heard yesterday that our container of furniture had cleared customs and is ready for delivery to our new house tomorrow, which is a relief, as we won't need to get any temporary stuff for the first few days in the house. We did however have to get some basic electrical items today in preparation for the house, as most of these things we sold off in the UK before we came.

This morning was spent finalising some official things - Clive went to register the company through a business in Crows Nest, and then we returned to Forestville to sign the lease agreement and pay the initial rent and bond (deposit) for the new house. We'll be back on the doorstep of the real estate agents at opening time tomorrow to collect the keys, as the container is expected to turn up first thing - so a busy day in store!
