Drifting into Drifting

At some stage in Mackay, we've begun to feel like we're not so much travelling as drifting. We had no clear goal, and even if we did, not enough money to pursue it. So off to Brisbane we did go in search of next!

The first next was my brother's wedding in Kingscliffe. I am pleased to report that I was probably the worst behaved of my family but don't seem to have disgraced the clan too badly. I am not so pleased to report that I cried during the reading I gave during the ceremony, though there was some sibling revenge when I was reliably informed by his new bride, that Dan did have a little cry himself later on. I think that 'big sis still has what it takes to make little brother cry' makes a far better conclusion than 'big sis blubbed in front of the whole congregation'.

Besides this, we have been job hunting. We thought it would be fun to apply for jobs that really interest us around the country and see what happens. As a result, Bryn has been offered a job in Melbourne and I have an interview in Perth on Tuesday. Couldn't have gotten much more extreme really. If I get the Perth job, we'll move there. If I don't, we'll go to Melbourne. Either way, we have a lot of driving ahead of us and will be a fair distance from most people we know in Oz. Hmm... Now that i've actually written that down, it seems to be the most ludicrous decision to make, but I'm quite excited cos it will mean living somewhere I've never lived before which equals adventures!

We'll keep you posted with the outcome!

Oh, and some of Bryn's photos from Synchronicity, the video installation are going to be published in a statewide booklet on regional arts.
