House for Sale

As the new land is nearly ready for settlement we have finally taken the plunge and put our house on the market.
So we have been busy decluttering, painting and cleaning to transform it into something we hardly recognise - check it out at http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-new+farm-107985316

So we wouldn't have to stress about tidying up every day we went to Tasmania for the 2 weeks of school holidays while they started "the campaign".  We had a lovely time motorhoming around the apple isle (although more and more apple orchards are being replaced by vineyards) and enjoyed both the natural delights of the many national parks

Royal Botanic Gardens Hobart

And all the beautiful gardens blossoming in spring

Banana in Pete's Patch - what happens when we try to plant things that just aren't meant for the climate.

Tino - I can't grow cherries in Qld and bananas aren't meant for Tasmania!

We also really enjoyed the convict and settler history and the overwhelming feeling that we had stepped back in time.  I can really recommend visiting the historical estates around the heritage highway; Clarendon which is a National Trust property, Woolmers Estate, and Brickendon where the 7th generation of the founding family are still living and farming.

Oh well.  Back to the reality of real estate agents and price negotiations.  Aaaaaaaagh!!
