PART 3 - MCCARRS CREEK


We moved yesterday. By boat! Our new house is away from the hustle and bustle of Pittwater, up at the end of McCarrs Creek. As it sits on a sandbank, we had to get up early to get in whilst the tide is high. Now our little boat which we have named 'Oshi' which means 'delicious' in Japanese, is sitting in about half a meter of water, moored off the front of our deck.

The house is AMAZING. I cannot believe how lucky we have been and it all feels like something out of a film. Its a lot more modern than the house at Elvina Bay and has a road up behind it so its a lot easier to get about. We have 173 steps down from the garage which contributes to my 30 minutes aerobic exercise a day and does make you plan what you are going to carry, when you come down! The steps were covered in dirt this morning from bush turkey diggings during the night and judging by the bangs and bumps, its a popular spot for wild life. The doors have little sausages which is apparently a prevention for funnel web access, which is something that does scare me but for a city girl, Im not doing badly, moving spiders and cockroaches outside, when I see them.
