when are you all coming? I'll make sure to be overseas...lol

did 500kms yesterday and the fuel cost was around $50 - still have half a tank though

TM - for your interest there is plenty of cheap land in the middle of OZ, you'll need to be working from home and self sufficient though and be a bush survivor type

if you go where the people are the cost is much higher. though here you can buy a 1/2 acre on the lake with water and mountain views for $400k and probably have a jetty berth for your boat. go into the mountains or farmland and buy 100,000 hectares for 200k maybe even 100k. town wise the cheapest land in a new development here is 500sqm for $82k, however go to sydney and $500k will get you a little pad in s*itsville if you're lucky

might be time to head to SA - great people, food, wine and coastline - there's worse places to be for sure, property values might be on the up and up down there if it works out it could be the new WA
