What now???

Well, it's official.

We now own over 300 acres in the stunning Northern NSW Hinterland.

It's got lots of trees, a huge Lagoon, and not much else.

There's lots to do to make it liveable. I think we're too scared to actually write a list, it'd be too long. We've got to concentrate on establishing a residence first. Well, i say 'first' but, really the first thing is to create access. There's a rather rudimentary driveway through the property, but the Bush and Scrub and Lantana are so darned thick that we haven't even seen the whole of the property yet!

We've found a good 105 HP Tractor. Well, it's a really OLD tractor, but it'll do the job and seems to be in good nick. We're getting it checked by a mechanic before committing, but it's looking good. Then we'll get a slasher to drag behind the tractor to get rid of lantana and scrub.

So, list of things to do might start thus:

• 1: Buy Tractor.
• 2: Learn to drive Tractor.
• 3: Figure out where Boundaries of property are.
• 4: Buy a Chainsaw.
• 5: Learn to use the chainsaw.
• 6: Drive tractor around perimiter, to clear the boundary and see what we have.

Also, we have to work out where we're putting the house. Would be nice to be able to see the lagoon from the house, but it's not looking like we'll be able to put it close enough. So, I'll have to put a garden and little pond in for a view.

A broad list of things we want to achieve, domestically, would be:

• Establish Driveway
• Establish Boundary of property
• Build house
• Fence house yard
• Establish Veggie garden
• Establish Orchard
• Organise Chicken sheds and runs
• Clear horse yard
• Fence horse yard
• Get a horse!

That's my list, it's not exhaustive, and it's very broad, but there's a roughly list. Now, this is just a domestic list, not a business list. I'll cover that later.
