Kristy Dowdle

One of my best friends and one of the reasons I'm down here rather than freezing back in Sweden.

 

Elizabeth "Libby" Dowdle

Kristy's charming sister. This girl has helped me out a lot. Drawing maps of places to go, calling me up to make sure I on the right bus, etc. A truly wonderful ozzie chick.

Thanks for everything, Lib..

 

William "Bill" Dowdle

A cool straight forward ozzie.
He is a great guy who really likes to
sit down and have a chat over a cold beer.
 
Jenelle "Nell" Dowdle

A lovely lady and that cooks
the best meals.

  The only person missing here is Ben Dowdle, Lib and Kristy's younger brother. The reason in that he is currently at a boarding school in Toowoomba, QLD.
When I have a developed picture of him it will end up here.



  Here are some pictures of the house from different angels and locations.

 

The Driveway and Kristy and Libby's car.

 

Another picture taken from the driveway (kind-of).
The gate leads to the pool and the back of the house.
 
The back of the house. This is where we sometimes have dinner and where we sit a lot at night.
 
The Pool. It's actually saltwater which I thought is kind of unusual but down-under it's pretty common.
 
This what the pool looks like from Nell and Bill's room. In Australia there are laws that says that you have got a fence surrounding your pool. Maybe there is in Sweden to, but outdoor pools are kind-of rare back there.. =)
 
Here are some pictures of what my room look like. The lower shelf is only magicbooks, imagine what my luggage weighed..
 
My (Ben's) wonderful king-sized bed.
 

The Formal dining room. The couch on the left is often during the evening occupied by someone speaking on the phone.

 
The kitchen.
 

The TV-room. This is the other part of the same room as the kitchen. This is where we spend a larger part of our evenings.. =)
 
This picture is taken once again from Nell and Bill's balcony. It's illustrates the beautiful surroundings of Brookfields, Brisbane.




  Here are some miscellaneous pictures taken round the house.

 

Picture of a newly awaken Kristy. She wasn't very fond of my trigger-happy finger this morning.

 

Kristy & Libby having breakfast.
In front of the TV of course. =).
 

Bill is cutting something. From the looks in his eyes I was afraid to ask what.. =)

The beer on the left is XXXX which is a locally brewed very nice beer..
 
Picture taken just after we finished dinner out doors, and just before we discovered the 13 red-back spiders hiding under our chairs.
 
This blurry picture was a red-back spider before Bill but it to sleep.

What I have heard, a bite from one of these honey's and you will sleep forever unless you get antidote. On top of that the venom hurts like someone jams a knife in you and the twist it around. Not very pleasant, huh...
 

The last picture, the road leading up to the house.
