I Moved To Brisbane (August)
Brisbane. That's where I live now. First impressions from this city, the Valley, my new flat and a few more.
Content:
At Ray and Ketrina's House
Kethrina concentrates to get the right stone out of the pile.I stayed the first 2 1/2 weeks at Kethrinas and Rays house in a suburb about 20 minutes away from work. I worked with Ray at Perception. Russ and Kylie came over for a BBQ. The house is directly on a small river. The large decks has a nice view and is a good place to have a BBQ.
Noosa
Russ and Ray went for a surf.We did a little weekend trip to Noosa Heads. I remember being in Noosa Heads years ago. It was weird to have a day trip to a place that seemed to be far up north. It is the middle of winter and the weather during the day can be 25°C.
At night it is a bit chilly though. I look forward to the summer but I think I will miss the moderate temperatures from november on.
I tried the waves without a board and it was much easier than in Bronte. Bronte is supposed to be the most dangerous beach in New South Wales. A surf school does a practise lesson. The beach is really big. Almost every parking spot was occupied but there was still a lot of space on the beach.
I tried to learn board surfing in Western Australia for 2 days. It is really difficult. I stick with body surfing
Ballow Street Flat
My new studio flat. It is a bit pricy for brisbane but I can rent the car space out and I don't need to pay for public transport. That's almost 50$ less per week.All one room. Equiped with dishwasher, dryer and now everything else I need or I don't really need. I'll have internet when I put this online. On the picture the backyard looks much better than it actually is. I wonder if anyone will use the BBQ or the pool in summer.
I may use the BBQ soon for a little house warming.
What you cannot see on the pictures is the noise. There is a air condition next door that goes day and night and next building is a big pub or club which hammers the bass through the surrounding block every thursday till saturday so far. Not really annoying but a big difference to the noise in Bronte.
At least the noise is continous and never stops so I almost don't here it anymore. I am not sure if I prefer the noise of the flying foxes and possums in Bronte. Time will tell. It's a convenient place to live but I doubt I will be here in a year.
The Valley
Fortitude Valley is a trendy Brisbane Suburb. That's where I live.Anne Street festival as a part of the Brisbane festival. There are a lot of trendy shops in Anne Street and all of them showed a scetch or something simular in the windows. My camera went out of power so that's the only picture I have got. On the weekends there is a little market in the Brunswick St mall.
On the left you can see my favourite place to go for lunch. This is about 2 minutes away from my flat.
Riverside
Ray and Ketrina in the Java Buddha at Riverside. This is a bit like Cocklebay wharf in Darling Harbour. A stretch of restaurants and bars along the river. About 15 minutes walk from my flat. Russ and I still in the Java Buddha for a few drinks.
This is a look at Riverside where a lot of restaurants and cafes are. About 10 minutes walk from my appartments.
Krome Studios
Here is where I work. Krome Studios located in the heart of the Fortitude Valley, the trendiest suburb in Brisbane. There are 215 people working here. The company does not make a lot of noise like other company but they do quality titles.I am working on Hellboy for PS3 and XBOX360. It will be released mid 2007 if everything stays on track. Publisher is Konami which is funny because the first game I ever played a lot was a Konami title called Penguin Adventure on MSX.
