I’d settle for not having daily power tool noises at this stage.

Mountains would be nice though

Because it is crazy. Crazy and unsustainable. To spend nearly seven figures for a home in rural Tassie is bonkers.

A building/structural inspector would be the first step before even considering it. Could be sturdy with minor structural works neede

Never let your enemy know your next move.

Assume all drivers are your enemy.

Shove your head as far up your arse as you can.

Congratulations you have passed the western suburbs driver’s test now.

I would love to have the $$ to buy something like that, renovate the shit out of it and live away from people.

Having said that, probably looking at like 200k in renovations (most likely more). The 550 seems low too considering what properties are going for these days.

So basically about a million to live in bumblefuck.

There is a massive lack of supply of housing in Australia. Very little is government built (unlike the 60s and 70s when govs were pumping cash in building homes), and developers are squeezing all they can out of buyers. Limited quantity of builders as well, so older and established ‘gems’ are fetching a pretty price.

Shit’s fucked

Make the most of it and do the following.

Go to Mt Macedon early morning. Park at Camel’s hump and do the walk to the Cross. There and back is about a 2.5-3h walk. Not too challenging, but gets slippery in places.

On the drive back you stop at Lerdederg (if you’re up for it) and do the walk to the dam. It’s like 90 minutes return. You could do the hill climb (gotta cross the dam) which can be a challenge depending on your fitness level.

You’ll we well knackered once you get home.

I have no motivation to even look for my motivation.

Afternoon full of online meetings is not looking pleasant.

Pray. For. Mojo.

I’d skip the liqueur and just add that amount of sweet coffee.
