(A VERY Wordy) Wordless Weekend


We are still working towards making this block ours.  Preliminary DA is lodged with Council, questions have been put to the Vendors and now the wheels are steadily ticking over.

In the quiet of the night we have wondered if we are crazy to think about this block. 
The darkness lets us whisper quiet fears that seem smaller of a day. 

There is no power. 
A very small cottage with a wood fired oven and hot water system. 
It is isolated.

We think we can turn it into somewhere special to raise our children and live.
There is space, and quiet.

I think we can do it...



Can't we?

  4. Oh go for it, solar passive, the whole hog!! We only live in the cities around this country as that is where my husband's work takes us but Canberra is so country, we're loving it here!! Will be hard to leave the country atmosphere to move to a new city (Brisbane). We plan to build us house in the near future in a rural coastal area just for us as the children will have grown up & left. 'tis why i enjoy them so much now!! Love Posie

  5. Yes, yes, yes!

    We are thinking about a city-based version of this...moving from a suburban block to 5 acres on the outskirts and I wonder if it will suit us, but all I can think about is the space to explore for our kids and I am weak-kneed.

    It's beautiful. Go for it.
