Australia’s rising cost of living has combined with the powering dollar to make Brisbane a more expensive city to live in than New York, London or Hong Kong.
Brisbane has been ranked the 14th most expensive city in the world in the latest edition of a global economic survey, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
It puts the city almost 25 per cent dearer than New York.
Inge has known this for ages of course everytime she does the weekly shopping, groceries are really expensive here.

Dutch treat..
Inge spotted a bargain in the supermarket...an electric poffertjes maker for $20! The ideal mothers day present for your typical aussie..
Its sometimes suprising to see certain dutch food in the supermarket, they have a lot of sweet stuff like taai taai, speculaas, hagelslag, appelstroop....what more do you want?
Other photo is of the two hairy kids..poco is 1 year old now, a bit of a timid cat a real mix of ragdoll and saimese.

Christchurch Earthquake
Awful to see the devastation in Christchurch we were there 2,5 weeks ago, we recognise many of the locations. Such a beautiful city with nice old buildings now ruined and so many lives lost.
The death toll from the Christchurch earthquake could rise as high as 200 after police confirmed up to 120 people are feared dead at the Canterbury TV building site.
Police believe there are a further 22 bodies inside Christchurch's Cathedral Square.
They said 238 people were missing after Tuesday's 6.3 magnitude earthquake. The official death toll stands at 76.

Giants House in Akaroa
Christchurch Day 4 - trip to Akaroa - Dolphin Cruise
We hired a car and drove to Akaroa which is 1hr from Christchurch. Its a former French settlement and is built on a former volcano with a natural harbour to the sea. Its one of the few places in the world that you can see the rare Hector's Dolphin, only a few thousand left. It was a great boat cruise and the weather was perfect. We stayed in a small hotel/restaurant on the waterfront.
