Moved here three years ago. I was visiting friends for a few years prior. Three older couples moved here that I met back in Southport. I had lived there for six years in total. Then the unit I was renting got sold and I was bouncing from share house to share house, was struggling with work too. So I was a bit lost and frustrated. I decided to give this a go.
Ah right, fair enough! You own out there??? Enjoy it overall?
I have been renting a huge Queenslander overlooking the water back to Redland Bay for two years now. However the first 14 months I rented a tiny room in a house with a hoarder. Yeah ..... Well anyway now I see some awesome sunsets at times, especially when the cane fires happen around Yatala.
As for being an owner, well with my super I bought a block of land a year ago for $44,000.
I will be getting two shipping containers moved there real soon for storage. Eventually I will live in a large off road camper trailer. Need to get power and water on, then rough it a bit and try to build a house with the rent that I'll save. But of an adventure. Oh and I'm not young......
And to answer your question, yes of course. There's a big sense of community that you rarely, very rarely find elsewhere. The commute is a bummer at times, but hey I get to ride in a boat often too. It's not for everyone but those of us that appreciate it are extremely content.
Yeah nice, I memba that community from growing up in Byron during the 80s and 90s haha, But that's sweet and feed sounds like a wicked adventure building and living in a camper!!!
