We are talking a small hut on the beach , for your beach life.



Portsea may hold the record for the highest price paid on a bathing box at $185,000, but it is humble Tootgarook, near Rye, that boasts the highest average value for a box of any Victorian suburb - at $115,000.

Valuers at Land Victoria have found there are 1669 bathing boxes and boat sheds sprinkled throughout the state - 79 per cent of which lie in the bounds of the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.

Thought I was going to the land of real men and sheilas not lily livers who can't change in the open. Why on earth would you lot need a bathing hut. It's not like you have to huddle in the damn thing shivering yer timbers and the like with a towel, duvet and several fleecey cossies (bathers) to battle off the cold. Ahhh many the childhood holiday spent in the bathing hut watching the rain lashing down as you looked out wistfully at the thrashing waves, hands huddled round a plastic mug of weak tea as you contemplated the summer vista.

pommie bastard

So that makes the UK poperty market on a par with Melbourne , but the wage levels less .
Australia has a beach life does it not which is touted as free ?

I don't see how $185,000 = £120,000 even with the dollar rate is poor as it is today (2.59). I just pray it heads up to 3 just after I sell my house

pommie bastard

It could just go down to rate we got $1.98 , the rubber dollar bounces both ways .
You quoted top price of a hut not £60K one, if you take the wages here into the sum I would say the for every pound you earn take home expect $1.5 here if you are lucky here as a guide.
