Started off the morning going into Jenny's work to copy the marriage certificate and all the documents we would need for rental applications.
I was able to bypass the crowd and lines at the opening of Queensland transport and get my driver's license, including photo and card in hand within 15 minutes! David worked on transferring the money we would need for our upcoming bond (4 weeks of rent for deposit), two weeks rent and for other expenses that required cash.
We viewed a property near the university that we really liked and submitted our rental application on the spot. Later on we viewed new properties (only a few years old) that were closer to the ocean, near the Broadwater. One was a 30th floor unit with floor to ceiling glass and views of the ocean and hinterlands (hills/mountains inland from the coast).
Afterward, we completed our car loan and registration paperwork and drove away with our car. David let me practice driving around the block as I had not driven yet in Australia. David drove the rental car to return it and I followed. Luckily the drive was uneventful.
We also learned that evening that our rental application was approved! Overall an excellent day- we got a car and were approved for a rental property we wanted.
