The beginnning

Well the journey has began, we have bought a place in the country and this is our story about the house, the land, the boys and our move from suburbia to a small rural town.

This is the new place located in Kardella, about 5km outside of Korumburra in South Gippsland Victoria. Its a 4 bedroom weatherboard house with large veranda situated on 4 acres, 2 under title and 2 on railway lease. The property backs onto the South Gippsland Tourist Railway but don't worry the trains only run on Sundays!.

We got the keys to the place mid February and for the time being will be down there mainly at weekends with the plan to move down there permanently later in the year.

The idea behind this blog is to let family and friends see what we are doing, our projects, our successes and our failures! As we try to build our place in the country,  produce some food and raise some animals. I doubt we will ever get to be self sufficient but we will be able to reduce our footprint and produce some nice fruit and veggies!
