After the house sit near Warringah Mall, we rented an Airbnb in Freshwater for nearly four weeks.
It was a great spot.
Freshwater gave us space, a pool, beaches nearby, and a proper base for a while. After months of moving from place to place, having somewhere for more than a few nights made a big difference. We were still temporary, still travelling, still working things out, but it gave the girls a bit of routine and gave us room to breathe.
The location was ideal for that stage of the trip. We could get to the beach, do normal shopping, explore the Northern Beaches, and still get into Sydney when we wanted to.
It was not “home” yet, but it was one of the first places in Australia that gave us a taste of what normal life might feel like here.
A pool.
A beach nearby.
A kitchen.
A few weeks without constantly packing.
After fourteen months on the road, that felt pretty good.
