^ unknown.
I don't have much to say today except that I am (finally) in Launceston, Tasmania and it is very, very cold, as anticipated. (I think I've mentioned before that) C's parents live in Launceston and they're currently on holidays back in Newcastle, so we're able to mind their house down here rent and bill free for at least two months while they're away so that we can suss out rentals. So far we've hardly been out, but C's friend Ben took us on a mini-tour of Launceston last night and we had the most delicious vegetarian burgers known to man at a place called Flip. I got my first bundle of redirected mail today in C's parents' mailbox and my bicycle should be arriving today or tomorrow. As for the removalists' truck carrying all of my worldly possessions, I have no idea whatsoever when we'll be seeing it again, so I have two pairs of clothes to wear indefinitely! Tonight we're going out to see Inception - Leonardo DiCaprio & Joseph Gordon Levitt <3
Just in case you were wondering, this is where I have moved to and from;
Launceston (pronounced; Lon-sess-ton) is 1565.1km from Newcastle and is Tasmania's second largest city (Hobart is the capital). Tasmania is not attached to the Australian mainland and it is an island, but it is still a state of Australia. To get to the mainland you either catch a boat or a plane. The whole state of Tasmania only has a population of 500 000 (the greater area of Newcastle is about that amount). I miss Newcastle, friends, family and our housemate a lot, but I am feeling optimistic about being here.
In other news, I dyed my hair;
^ By the end of the week I may have returned full-circle to the hair I was born with, white blonde.
Promise to blog again with some substance soon!

Darling! So excited for you. If it's any consolation it is freezing in Newy, but not as cold as the Apple I am sure. But still too cold for comfort. Looking forward to hearing and seeing all you discover. How far is it to Hobart from Launceston? I really want to get to Hobart one day. My convict gggg-grandfather was transported there.
congrats on the move.
That map of Tassie is great. I love the way it makes Poatina look like it's the same size as Launceston. I've been to Tassie a few times and have friends who live in Poatina...it's literally about three streets.
Good luck settling in. Launceston is such a pretty town.
Oh you are there now! Congratulations!
I hope you'll publish some pictures of the surroundings. How could is it now there?
Glad you and C arrived safe and sound in Tasmania. Today the weather in Newcastle is freezing and I even wore gloves and trackies this morning when I took kids to school. Maybe I am turning into one of those trackie dack wearing mums. Very nice hair colour by the way.
You're on an island, aww.
Moving to a new place is so exciting and nervewracking isn't it? I wish you the best of luck with everything :)
And your hair looks great. I wish I could change my hair colour, but so much abuse means the bleached parts just end up blonde again after a while :1
Oh you're gone!!! I hope that you LOVE it there & find some wonderful people to be friends with and cafes & little shops to hang out in! Will simply have to post you a letter once you've a new address down there! You'll need to train your new Postie! xxx
Good to hear you arrived safe and sound. I hope you find the cosiest and yummiest house in Launceston.
well actually welcome to MY island lol! I live near Burnie.
So glad you arrived safely, I hope your things do the same soon! Go and check out Cocoon soon, it is the best shop with lots of lovely handmade things plus T2 teas, and other goodies :)
The colour makes you look warmer at least even if you do not feel warmer.
your hair looks fab!
what did you think of inception? i LOVED it!
You look adorbs, lady!
And wow! I can't believe I can actually say that I know someone who lives in Tasmania! I look forward to learning more about it, because I am admittedly clueless!
Me likey the hair. Did you grow out of your white-blondeness or is it lurking under the dye?
I have a couple of workmates from "Lonny" who were always raving about it (hmm...not sure why they moved to Perth, then). I have a new package ready to send you...it's just missing the letter part. My procrastination knows no boundaries. I will await your new address.
I think Tasmania is one of the most beautiful places here in Oz. People always put it down but when I visited I experienced the most fresh, delicious foods, amazing agriculture (the Lavender, oh my...) and the most incredibly warm and welcoming people. I hope your move turns out to be a positive and beautiful adventure :)
BEAUTIFUL!!! i looooove your new colour!
happy moving sweets xo can't wait to see/hear about the new place!
your hair looks lovely!! :)
congrats on ur move - how exciting! i know my move to Melb was really exciting & I'm loving it although I am a little home sick! :(
Eeeeek! Boo to cold weather! :/ it's soo cold here too but I'm getting use to it (I think!)
I've been reading your tweets on twitter & sorry to hear about your ex-bf! I'm not sure exactly what's going on but I hope everything gets better soon. Is it an ex or was is your recent bf that is now your ex? Because I wrote about you & your bf in the letter reply I sent you & at the time I was replying to what you told me about you both so I'm not sure! :) If you need to talk about anything even if you want to rant I'm all ears mmk! *hugs*
