It was a busy February to say the least. Moving house is just so stressful. Finally, I am sitting down overlooking a garden. A real garden!

And where is my trampoline?

The beautiful 17 x 10 foot Olympic size trampoline I had ordered was stuck 4,000klms away in Perth, and endless calls to freight companies had resulted in some very unrealistic quotes in the region of $600-$1000 for delivery.

Depressed, I started looking for a more local trampoline company. It took some serious googling… and I found what I was looking for on good ‘ole ebay.

Professional Trampoline

Not only do they make superb, professional trampolines, they are also made in Australia (no cheap asian alternative) and they arrange delivery at pre-determined prices.

Customer service is top notch. I discover a husband and wife team that obviously ‘lurve’ their products and the delivery was 3 days EARLIER than expected.

Although I had to go for a slightly smaller trampoline that my original Perth choice, my new 16.5 x 9.2 foot trampoline was erected in just under an hour (it has over 100 springs to attach!).

And then…. it started to rain.

And rain.

Living in a tropical region of Australia, I have come to live with the fact that a monsoonal trough once a year is punishment for the other 11 months of perfect weather! I just wish i could have showed off my new purchase first.

Currently half the local rivers have flooded over, and it’s likely I will not be able to make it to work tomorrow after warnings of flash flooding expected overnight!

So I shall be sitting at home watching my new trampoline, slowly sinking into the mud which was once my beautiful garden.

GOOD NEWS: rain is expected to ease in 4 days time! So expect some pictures and videos, followed by demonstrations and trampoline tips.
