| When
we moved from Nowra in New South Wales to Brisbane we decided to move into our
townhouse in Norman Park. We bought Norman Park 10 years ago as an investment but made
sense to get to know Brisbane well before investing in a bigger house that would see us
into retirement. Norman Park is a typical townhouse with three bedrooms in two levels but very well situated, less that 5 km from the centre of the city and at a stone throw from train, bus and ferry stations. |

Our
original plan was to live in Norman Park for two to three months and then start looking
for a house. However we did not think that we would be caught up by the convenience of
Norman Park: the CBD just around the corner, CityCat river ferry across the road, Norman
Park Train station at the end of the road, 10 minutes drive to the office even at peak hour ... the time
passed by and only 5 years later we made the move and bought a new house.

Norman
Park although small had just enough space to make us feel cosy. The small backyard was
made very liveable with a nice covered area where we spent most of our time in summer and
a small garden where Filu could pot around. A family of possums living in the neighbours' trees, blue tongue lizards and fruit bats added a taste of Aussie outback, 5 minutes from the centre of the most liveable city in Australia: Brisbane.

In the
miniscule garden Filu grew Paw-paws, Pitangas (Surinam berries), Jindungos (chillies),
Passion fruit and the traditional parsley, mint and coriander. Although Norman Park had most of what we needed, it was a bit too crowded when we had visitors and did not have space for my boat and a workshop... we had to move to a bigger house!!!
