Once the decision was made we had to sell our house, and our new car that we had purchased to go on the camping trip out west. One of Dianne's sisters in Oshawa had just bought a new house and didn't have any money to buy furniture so we allowed them to use our furniture while we were away."The weather , so far, has been fairly mild for November. We got some snow last week but it didn't stay. It has been raining for the past 2 days- hope we get some snow before we go. It will make it more of a treat going into the tropics.( well not exactly the tropics but at least summer)
"Dianne bought Brett a book about a Koala Bear today- trying to get him thinking AUSTRALIA!"
We sold the house at a good profit, but took a big loss on the car, so they pretty well cancelled each other.
Sunday Nov 29: " We are having trouble trying to figure out what to get Brett for Christmas as we will be leaving soon after."
Due to a variety of factors, but mainly not knowing where I was going to be posted in New South Wales, we decided that I would go first, go through the 2 week orientation in Sydney, find out where we were going and find some place to live, then Dianne and the kids would come after.
Wed.Dec.1/1971 "I got my itinerary from Mayne (Travel) on Monday outlining my flight #'s and hotel reservations."
Fri. Dec 3/71 "Dianne received a dictionary of Australian slang from QUANTAS today. Its almost as bad as French."(I only took 8 years of french in high school and university).
Wed.Dec.19/71 "WOW! Never thought we would make it. Yesterday we moved to Oshawa." (Thanks be for parents and siblings.)
