What's really interesting though is a life lesson that we learn here. The apartment is owned by a very nice, little old lady who is temporarily living back east. She tells us that she has severe arthritis and comes downstairs from her bedroom each morning and stays downstairs for the day. At the end of each day she agonisingly climbs back up the stairs to sleep. We decide one day we'll be old too, such that when we return to Australia and build our new home at Mount Colah, we build a single story house on a flat block with no steps or stairs. We benefit now from this decision and the lesson we learn, here, in 1986.
