Through the Eyes of a Wombat

And so the search for a new burrow begins.

I came back to Canberra yesterday, making it a little over a year since I left. Things have hardly changed, though there is a new Goodberrys in Dickson, I see, and the Moose is open.
There are a couple of new photos up, nothing too exciting but it's a start. Many an hour this morning was spent tracking down possible burrows on the excellent real estate websites here, though many places seem to have only one or two times a week that properties can be viewed. I guess they still have people living in them...
I did get to see one place today, by virtue of it being vacant (as, it seemed was the old fellow next door feeding the magpies). Quite a nice place, probably about ten minutes from ANU and mere metres from a bus stop. I must find out exactly where that bus goes to, before deciding whether that is convenient or not. The only thing is the rent is a little on the high side of what I would have preferred, but we'll see what else is available. The owner of that place (it's a private rent, no estate agent) is going away for a few days, so that gives me some time to explore other places and see whether or not this really is too expensive, or whether it is a good deal. It felt spacious enough, but I guess most places will feel very spacious when there is not a skerrick of furniture in the place...

I'll keep you updated. Now, to forage for some food...
