Was googling around and found out the house I lived in in Australia has been sold.

Helped lay that driveway 15 years ago. 1 days work. Colour has faded but that's to be expected after that long in the Australian sun without anybody sealing / treating the driveway.

Brought back a lot of memories seeing that. Dad, brother, brother in law and I dug it out the day before. Helped Dad build the shed in the background too, 8m x 6m, that was a hell of a day pouring the concrete for that, running back and forth like morons because the truck couldn't get past the chimney. My younger brother got to sit there with the hose spraying it with water the whole day :laugh:

Left Oz because parents got home sick. Strange looking through those pictures, knowing how big that house was - 1/4 acre - and then seeing my dinky flat.

Yeah, PIC.
Typical aussie house, built out of weatherboard, raised a foot off the ground, awnings to keep the sun out :cool:
