House Purchase

Edge Hill Investment Property
I’ve just purchased a three bedroom house in Edge Hill. I plan to continue living with my brothers so it will be an investment property. A good buy in one of Cairns’ blue chip suburbs.

Big Move Happening

Black Friday at The Reef Hotel Casino
I’m in a bit of a whirlwind at the moment having just accepted a new job based in Sydney, NSW.
My current position at The Reef Hotel Casino was advertised in today’s paper and my last day of work in Cairns will be Friday 23rd of this month.
So what is my new job? I’ve accepted a position with Accor Asia Pacific as a Regional IT Manager. I’ll have shared responsibility for managing the IT systems in Accor owned and managed hotels along the east coast of Australia.
With some travel involved, I’m hoping to get to many places around the states I haven’t seen before as well as catching up with friends and family.
