I am embarrassed... We never offered in the first place as it was WAY over our max....and our offer would be a 100k less Which makes it dirt cheap in that area... UNBELIEVEABLY cheap... So have to go and have a look with the rose tinted glasses off...

Every time I get the real estate paper and look at what we could get for the same as our house in Bullsbrook/Chittering I get the same ideas.

(And then I remember that we're clueless when it comes to animals/countryside/gardening etc.)

I'm looking forward to hearing about it when YOU do it, though!

That sort of life doesn't interest me in the slightest but obviously it suits others. For met personally it would come down to the kids and how it would affect their schooling and social life. It all sounds very idyllic to some and if it what you and your family would like then go for it.

kids could stay "as is" Educationally... Or we would have the choice of a "better" school for Hop a long kid... ... Apart from that they would have to have a regular parental taxi service set up... We've been there and done that before.. Means mumbles could stay as is with the Hip Hop and Scouts and Ed support unit... NOw THAT matters....

When a family of their friends (all three of the youngest had A friend in the same family) and they moved out whoop whoop.... Didnt mind... But then they moved to Victoria and we have a limit to how far we'll drop off or pick up...
