Day 196 Bellingen Thursday 20th December 2012


Hi Folks,

A long day in the sub tropical heat.

Susan arose at 530 to finish her patch of weeding in the rainforest to be. I was prodded out of bed at 630. Thus began the packing and cleaning which finally saw us depart at 1030. Have I mentioned that when they harvest macadamias they wait for the nuts in their shells to fall off the trees and then pick them off the ground. The place next door uses a special sweeper.

We drove through Lismore and on to our appointment for a House Inspection at Copmanhurst. After a burger lunch we travelled with the agent to the property. The property is a 100 acre multiple occupancy title. The house we looked at was on 3 acres. There are 8 properties at three acres each with the rest of the land divided between natural bush and community use. The house was quite impressive especially when the price 0f $225,000 was factored in. It was a well constructed pole design with a lot of well thought out features. It also had air conditioning essential with today’s high humidity. Something for us to think about, actually many things to think about. We travelled on to Grafton where we partook of hot beverages at Golden Arches.  We motored down the highway through Coffs Harbour and on to our destination  to stay with the boys at Bellingen for a couple of days. They also have other visitors so it was a full house for a home made pizza tea. 

The evening passed quickly and consequently this is a late night blog that will not be pubished till we go back to the house and internet. I can connect with both wireless broadband providers but not well enough for fast surfing. We finally collected our mail parcel from home. I am looking forward to using my bowel cancer test kit!
We are staying down in the yurt which is  a cosy little cabin with air conditioning.

Night folks

Simon
