Why did you leave that spot? It lookd gorgeous and I'm sure the weather would have been better than in Tassie.

Was only renting and way beyond my budget (house I was renting was for sale at around $800K at the time) and ultimately I really wanted to get as far away as possible from the rat-race. Kiama suited me at the time for a few reasons. IMO there are few places left on the mainland that suit my needs these days (by my standards). I also much prefer the climate here, most things I'm interested in eating (be that animal or vegetable) grow/live here perfectly well. Good clean food is essential to me. My food comes from my property, hunted or trading with friends - NOT from a supermarket. I have pure water coming down from the mountains in my stream, I have all the rainwater I need. It's cheaper. There's less people. Less government interference. Just less shit in general :)

I can understand that. We love Tassie and get there as often as we can. I'ts amazing how well one can live with a decent veggie garden, a few animals and a bit of time spent doing domestic stuff. > It's cheaper. There's less people. Less government interference. > > Just less shit in general :) Yup. Makes sense to me. I've been lusting after a place at Lachlan (Tassie) that appeared on Gardening Oz - won't happen, but I do like a bit of Real Estate P**n: http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Sale/Acreage-Semi-Rural/TAS/Lachlan/?adid=2009390453

I don't think I've been to Lachlan as yet. I have some friends selling a property which may as well have been custom made for me - $500K though and I have no desire to go into debt.
