Great Location

We were so pleased to get a (reasonably priced) apartment close to the city, and close to QUT ... and it is also close to some great parkland for nice walks, as well as a full-size public swimming pool and gym.



And it's a mere 5 minute walk away.

Had a lovely swim this morning in the heated outdoor 50m pool.

The Hill or the Valley?

We are right on the edge of things here.

Just outside the front door there is a sign that pronounces this area to be "Spring Hill" .

A few metres the other way along Gregory Terrace, over Brunswick Street, it declares "Bowen Hills".

But if we actually go down Brunswick Street a little way, we find we are in "Fortitude Valley".

Who cares, anyway - ay?

When we moved in, we contacted the energy people to have the electricity and gas connected in our name. No problem with the electricity at this address in Spring Hill. But the gas - sorry, there is no gas connection at this address!

So we went downstairs and stared long and hard at our gas hot water system, and the meter attached, then we tried again.

After a very long time on the phone we managed to find the gas connection.

It seems that our front door is in Spring Hill, but our back door is in Fortitude Valley. Hey!!
