Hi mate, I just found your video. I live in Scotland, but have been to Oz 5 times. I love the country, the people, and most of all it's nature. After only 20 minutes of this post, I have to say you are going to lead the life that I would love. Although I have been to Sydney, Queensland is where I love with a passion. My last visit 6 years ago, I found relatives in the Glasshouse Mountains and stayed with them for a few weeks before I went off camping. My cuz's had 5 acres including an acre of water (dam). 40 species of birds, 5 species of snakes and a platypus in the pond that they hadn't seen in 4 years, but I did. I will follow your post as you live my dream. Best of luck to you and your family.

Such a beautiful place to live in. No crowd, no noice, only natural elements.

Great to see you have a different adventure. The 3 acre is great investment, one thing you will find is on property the most important is water, the tank size you have will last a month, you may need a bore to top it up. If your drilling ensure it’s greater than 30M from sewerage and dam. You won’t need to go far for good water. Another is you will need a 15 M perimeter around house with very low scrubs like a fire zone free of trees.( you can have over house just a dead zone). Keep grass very low in this zone and you will have minimum snakes and mice. If you have chooks they will come because of feed. In the dead zone run a circle of 50mm AG pipe with sprinklers and make sure your generator can run your bore.

So many firsts for you all now, be super mindful of run off water, spoon drains are the way to go, love the idea of setting a portion aside for camping, great semi passive income. Agree with the idea of Sea Containers for a cheap build either on the hill or near the shed, stackable n easy to add to with a bit of foresight. Looking forward to the progress videos. Suggest a light coloured roof n walls for your colour change, way better for heat reflection. See if you can stock your dam with yabbies or red claw n bass or perch

Also looking forward to more "on the road" adventures. It's been amazing watching your three kids growing up. They're so we'll adjusted to your lifestyle. They'll grow up to be good people because of the experiences you've had with them, and your closeness as a family. Lots of love & all the best team. 👍 😀😀

Hi you lot, congratulations on the purchase of your new adventure, we totally get where you are at, ten years age we did pretty well the same as you guys, sold everything, did a few laps (amazingly stayed at so many exact camp spots as you have) unintentionally ended up buying a hundred acre scrub block with a little house (now had a reno) stand alone solar near Childers, you guys won’t regret it, yep its a bit hard work to start with but that’s half the fun, hey mate must haves ; bloody good mower, 4x4 tractor and an atv! We have also put in caravan sites, Dunny down the shed etc for mates travelling, have fun guys and enjoy the serenity, ps no Nieghbor’s 🎉
