Well what can I say.. as usual Occy stole the show and our hearts🥲
I'd just like to throw my hat in the property naming ring here and add a couple of alternate names the fig is known by. One is Figwood. Another is the old aboriginal name for figs called Birra Birra. I am so keen to learn more about the indigenous history of this area and I think the traditional custodians of this land need to be recognised.
What do you think?
Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one 💛💛💛
I would also be so appreciative if you donate to my push up challenge here to help raise money for suicide prevention! Let's hit that 10k goal!! www.thepushupchallenge.com.au/fundraisers/maxbidstrup/the-push-up-challenge
Donation done Max thanks for sharing with us x
I love birra birra as the name in some form seems fitting
Gm. Here in Philadelphia, USA. It's a beautiful quiet Sunday morning. Coffee, quiet, Max and Occy. Watching your new journey is calming. Yes, honor the history of the first peoples and the land by choosing solid names. Bless you and thank you.
I like Birra Birra... add whatever their translation is for rainforest. Or simply Birra Birra Resort.
@@hotmixxableit's always sunny in that jawn! Morning neighbor! I'm just crossed Ben Franklin in Collingswood.
Occy is thinking it took us 6 years to drive home but it was worth it.
First thing I noticed was how happy granddad Occy looks! He is so so happy in your new home and it's so lovely to see.
Loving life! 💛
Stopped by to say the same. Max is truly happy. Zak, phenomenal filming.
How nice to have all that room to run and explore !
What an awesome property Max 🥰. i can see your Dream come true. Tiny house other plans your thinking of 😜
Occy sure enjoy him self. Exploring resting. Bless him.
Gorgeous wild life around you too so sweet 😍 .Zak. did a Great job of Filming ( Bloopers 😂)
Success with your plans have a Good week🥰
Max you have a beautiful cabin and land . Your plans sound wonderful ! Occy is so happy 💙. Please thank Zak for his great filming 🏞
Occy falling asleep in randoms spots around your property makes me think he knows you guys have found your forever home! I’m so thrilled for you, Max! Can’t wait to watch your build series! ❤️
You know you have found the right spot when your dog is as happy as you Occy is just beaming it is very heart warming.
New filming format is next-level! Zak does an amazing job and it allows you to move around organically and freely. That low-to-the-ground slowmotion shot from behind you and Occy walking the property with his tail waving back and forth across the screen really created an intimacy and connection. Go Zak! (Of course your property is mighty photogenic so that doesn't hurt.)
Thank you so much! I agree Zak is awesome, glad you loved his work! 💛
@@MaxandOccy but he is not available it can be very limiting and I have seen partnerships like this fall apart and you are back to square one.. Authentic is just fine. Yes Zak did lovely work.. don't limit yourself though
24:12 Occy’s role in life is to reduce the anxiety of the people around him, and he is so good at it.
Such a good friend to have along :-)
Max and Occy are soulmates ❤
💛💛💛
I hope the termite inspection doesn’t reveal anything too major. One place I lived in once in Brisbane at night I could hear strange noises in my bedroom. I found out when I put my toe through a floor board that the noise I could hear was actually termites chomping on the floor boards!
Occy is just loving his new home. You can clearly see an Occy smile. I really like seeing you so happy and who wouldn't be there. Your property is beyond amazing.
Thank you Suzanne! 💛
Occy's tree
I hope the person that sold you that place, realizes what a good soul he sold that property to. Thank you for the amazing tour and I think that's a good place for OCCY the "adventure dog" to retire at.
My very first thought as a woman who could be your mother is that your parents must be so proud and happy to see you in your wonderful new space. As parents our number one wish is to see our children happy and healthy. My second thought is to thank you and Occy for putting a huge smile on my face. I look forward to your updates more than any others. Congratulations!
Ditto! I felt the same watching him show us this land, that if you’ve been watching, you know this is so made for him! He loves it! SO I LOVE IT TOO!!!!!
Me three!
Me four lol ❤😂
😊
Aw thank you so much! That is very kind 💛💛
I join you four in these thoughts! Same age, same ideas of pride in the kids. Loving Occy's smile.
Man, this shows again that life always has something better to offer if something doesn’t work out. This property is made for you and Occy 🥰
Omg Occy asleep under the fig tree warmed my heart so much. He deserves this retirement home you have bought him!!
Oh wow just Magic! Those figs are so beautiful💛As a local in the same area, one suggestion I wanted to pass on is clearing paths in the leaf litter when summer comes. Death Adders love hiding there and don’t move on like Brown snakes, they stay put. Just makes it safer for you and Occy to get around.
Goodness! Thank you for passing this information on to him ! :-)
So glad you wrote this because I was thinking about the snakes too.... 👍
Max this is awesome. It looks just like the conservation land that I spent 5 years caring for on the mid north cost of NSW - 200 acres sandwiched between 2 National parks and a state forest. Unbelievable magic. Leaving it was like leaving a loved one and I still grieve it every day. ❤ there were creeks and hikes and 40 ft waterfalls and a 200 year old fig too. It was just the most perfect place on earth. You are living in ancient gondwana rainforest - this is a good start for learning about the trees and wildlife. Our place was previously owned and converted to conservation land by a famous scientist named Mary White who did a lot of research on this special kind of forest. If you can find her books, you will be able to learn more about your new land 😊❤
Wow that sounds amazing! I'll have a look for her books, thankyou 💛
In the UK they often name towns or places ‘under’ a Forrest name like ‘Shipton under Wychwood’ maybe you could call your property “Tarry under Fig’ ‘Farm under Fig’ or something similar. Such a beautiful period of life ahead of you both. Kindest regards.
Your old stable looks to be made from local hardwoods, tough as nails and easy to straighten up. A really useful building. A permaculture recommendation is, do nothing irreversible for at least 12 months.
Thank you 💛
Occy seems so at home. It's really one of the most beautiful properties I've ever seen... It is such special place. I'm so happy that it came to Max. Perfect person for that land! Very excited for the journey ahead!
Occy is honestly just having a ball. Love it 🙌🏼💛
What a wonderful place to run and enjoy !
Green lush and beautiful
I couldn't agree more Max that the traditional owners of this land need to be recognised and their true Wisdom embraced, celebrated and most importantly Respected. The Arakwal people refer to this area as Cavanbah which means 'Meeting Place'.... and it has Van in it 😊There is an amazing person Grant who has an Aboriginal art gallery in Bangalow that's dedicated to First Nations amazing artists. Go visit him and he could possibly get you in touch with some of them to learn more about their history here? I am So Happy for you Max and Occy!!! You both Deserve this Paradise and Peace.... Oh and I also like 'Figwood Forest Farm' 😃
yeah it'd be amazing to do a video with a local elder walking you around the property and giving you a paid tour on the significance of various things around you! and maybe some bushtucker info on plants there etc...!
Is it just me or does Occy look younger in his new environment?? THAT makes me sooooo happy to see. WHAT a spectacular paradise you have now Max!!!! Unbelievable beauty and potential, CANNOT wait to see how you make it your new haven!!! Best luck, as ALWAYS from TN USA❤
Max, if I could have given this video 100 likes I would. I am so happy for you and Occy.
Thank you for the property tour.
Max, you are being disciplined, taking care of yourself, while going after your dreams. So excited for you.
Excellent filming from Zack.
I agree with you
He is looking and sounding happy and healthy
Oh Max! It just gets more incredible with each video you post. Love how Occy is just stepping into his role as co-custodian; like he was born to it.
Couldn't agree more. Each day sheds new light on this lands beauty 🙌🏼 And ha, yep the king is right at home here 💛
@@MaxandOccy❤🐶
Are u from the future
@@Sponggybobbie yup they are already in Paradise *** *** * .
Occy looks so happy, as do you Max. It's a stunning property, you both deserve this slice of paradise!!
Birra Birra is a beautiful name for an exceptional property. Well done Max and Occy. May you both have many happy years in your new home ❤️❤️
I don't think there's a greater or more loving gift that you could have given Occy than this beautiful place. Perfection. ❤
Congratulations on this beautiful home! Birra Birra is the perfect name to honour this gorgeous land. A perfect place for a home, and a great place for a retreat! Walks and meditation in that rain forest - as long as other dogs are welcome, put me and my dog on that soon to be long list to visit! 😊
I love that suggestion....What is the aboriginal name for a fig tree?
Of course the old Aboriginal name Birra Birra, is a little bit different but this one is also known as Ficus rubiginosa.17 Sept 2010
I agree
Many opportunities for a retreat and multiple vans
Great property
The outtakes made me smile. And precious Occy, he is a WARRIOR!! I am in awe of the fig tree. Have never seen such a unique tree before and especially not one 500 years old. Max, you are exuding happiness and peace and it’s wonderful to see. Can’t wait for the next video 😊🐶
Isn't it so beautiful?! 💛
The Vanwives are on a green thumb journey. A collaboration where they come to Aus and help you build garden beds would be sick.
Occy will always steal the show. ❤
Love the tour around your new property, Occy is clearly thriving in his new environment. Majestic Fig tree creek.
I am so happy for you and Occy. That place looks like heaven on earth. Occy obviously approves of his new home.
A few more flowers for me, then that would be heaven! Frangipani, hibiscus, gingers.
What a lush green property! I am so happy for them :-)
He absolutely loves it 💛
Replace your hot water tank with an on demand gas one, so much more economical with water and power. If you can find a wood combustion stove that would be awesome for your off grid lifestyle. Keep the gas stove too, better for the Summer weather. A new shed, at least double garage sized for wood working and storage will give you added water collection, the biggest water tank you can get will be best, especially as you'll be having lots of visitors. I'd prioritise the shed, you'll be able to build your own furniture then and have space for repairs. The bathroom can wait til Summer, the van's bathroom is fine for now. Occy is so happy and contented in his new home, love seeing him on the doormat!
Thanks Zak for filming such a beautiful property. Thanks Max & Occy 😊 for inviting us into your space, sharing and showing us around.
Wonderful to see Occy so happy following you around your beautiful
Property. The trees are magnificent and the property exquisite. You are the perfect custodian Max. So happy for you.
Thank you! 💛
Thank You. Thank You for allowing me (and the world) to see a part of your life. The property is beautiful, and the fig is just majestic. Looking forward to watching the changes. Lots and lots of hugs and pets for Occy, he's a gem.
Occy is truly loving the space you can tell because he's just so comfortable he goes to sleep everywhere. I would say look to your friends the Van wife's if you want some great ideas they've done some phenomenal work on that abandoned cabin!! Maybe you could talk to them into coming and helping you there!!
I like this idea!
Brings back so many memories. Born and raised in The Netherlands, in 1989, after graduating from college at age 19, I spent 3 months in New Zealand and 2 months on the east coast of Australia. Brisbane, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville (one of my favorite places), Mt. Isa, Longreach, and then Lismore, Coffs Harbour (2nd favorite), Port Macquarie, Newcastle and Sydney. I now live in Northeastern USA but seeing your property just brought back wonderful memories of a gorgeous country. I thank you for that. Looking forward to your adventures as a property caretaker!
You are living my dream! I would definitely fly to Australia to stay at a tiny house in this beautiful area. I'm so happy you have found this spot of paradise to create your dream.
Thank you Ellen and let's see how we go with the tiny house 🙌🏼
Thanks for the tour of your AMAZING property Max. I can’t begin to imagine just how exciting it must be to finally be able to have a place to call your own and what a place it is. I loved hearing all of the birds and just how quiet it is out there. It sounds like you have given a lot of thought with regards to what you want to do with the home itself so I imagine it will be beautiful and very functional when it is complete. I look forward to watching you as you take this incredible journey. Finally, I can’t think of a better place for Occy. He actually looked he was smiling throughout the video. So happy for both of you!!!
You are most welcome mate! And yep, beyond words. Over my initial feelings of being overwhelmed and now just ready to enjoy and kick butt! Stoked to have you along for the ride 🙌🏼
Love that shot of Occy walking behind you
I have a name suggestion for the whole property. I believe the Bundjalung people are the traditional owners of the area where your property is. In their language the word for dream is baribunma- I think this name fits perfectly. I would 100% come and stay at the tiny home with my dog, Georgia.
That land is Beautiful and even though I followed you for van life since Mexico, I think I will be happy to watch your transformation of this property. Sadly EVERYONE is doing the same thing, all the old School van lifer's have all bought property now. But this.. This is special. And those fig trees are SO amazing! Good for you.
Watching you run and scramble with so much happiness to show us your favorite spots fills me with joy for you, Max. 💛🙌☀️
Thank you Colleen! 💛 I just love this property so much!
Thank you Better Health. Thanks to everyone who makes talking about being depressed or just struggling with your thoughts. Love you all❤
I love Birra Birra! This video felt like a meditation session, absolutely loved it. Occy has all my heart ❤ Your new home looks like heaven on earth, thank you for sharing it with us ❤❤
That property is so amazing! I'm so happy that you became it's new custodian. I like the idea of recognizing the aboriginal history of the place, that's why my vote goes to Birra Birra.
About the veggie patch, I suggest Square Foot Gardening. And since the creek is seasonal and we know how much Occy loves to swim, you may want to check organic/natural swimming pools or swim pond.
Oh, I love Birra Birra! I think to honor the land and the magnificent fig tree and the indigenous peoples of the area, it is an appropriate and beautiful name!
Occy seems to have settled in nicely and, as is his right, stolen the video❤❤
This new chapter of your life is so exciting And I am eager to travel it with you 🥰❤️
Totally agree- Berra Berra or Terra Berra (land of the fig) would be great.
Just wow! I love your property so
Much. Birra Birra gave me the best goosebumps. I think the name is perfect.
Once the tiny house is available to rent out or offer it to guests, I’d just love to rent it from you for a time. 💕 phenomenal land, and I can see how incredibly happy Occy and you are.
On a warmer note, if you ever need a hand, I’m certain others like myself, would love to contribute in helping you build and improve your homestead in the perfect way you envisioned. Let us know how we can help? xoxo -Much luv & light
"Max and Occy" and "Roaming Reckless" (Maria and Blue) would be so cool!!!
WOW - breathtaking property, lovely animals (and humans ;) and wonderful filming (+ editing). It was a joy to watch! Thank you for taking us along! 😍
Thank you for watching 💛💛
Max, you and Occy hit the Lottery! Visiting Australia is definitely on my bucket list. Would love to spend time on your homestead! Will you consider building a platform/treehouse amidst those gorgeous jungle trees? 😊❤
I have only just found your channel and haven't followed your van life BUT I am very excited to see your permaculture/ food forest / sustainable living content ❤ I live just up the road on the GC and grow my own food in a small yard and rental property. I love channels like Hannah Lee Duggan and The Weedy Garden who is practically your next door neighbour 😂😂 Looking forward to seeing your journey ❤❤
@TheWeedyGarden you guys definitely need to link up!
Totally agree The Weedy Garden connection is a must-do early as possible - !!! Reach out 👍🏻🤞🏻
I am 10000% certain I was eyeing this property when I was browsing real estate. Glad it went to you!
Wow Max!!! I can't believe how varied and diverse the landscape is within five acres. There's just so much potential to put your own personal stamp on it and have it reflect your individual personality. I love the fact that Occy has felt so at home immediately. It gives him all the space to run, nap, explore and just live his life to the fullest. That's awesome! Once again, congrats and well done, mate!
this property is really amazing ! Congrats ! whats about“ giant tree (fig) oasis“ ? 😉
Thank you so much! 💛
@@MaxandOccy You're welcome!
If you’re building raised beds for your veggie garden (which I strongly recommend) you should definitely make them ‘wicking beds’. Veggies absolutely love them and they’re much lower maintenance and water efficient than other forms of watering. Also, your kitchen compost will be your best friend.
Thanks for your ‘wicking beds’ suggestion. I’ll be installing raised beds soon. Just googled ‘wicking beds’ at your suggestion. Good option for vegetables/annuals!
Good insight !
Reuse the kitchen craps for sure
:-)
wicking beds are containers and much more expensive than simple raised beds. they also have serious down-sides. do your research Max!
@@spokinabout2236 have you ever built or used a wicking bed? It is true that they are more work to build than a standard raised bed, but well worth the effort. Aside from the extra initial investment, I’d love to know what you feel the other downsides are?
Given the high rainfall of where his property is located wicking beds may not be necessary, he may be better putting money to protecting his garden from possums, bush turkeys etc. I live close by and I find they're are 1 of my biggest issues. I also 100 percent agree growing fruit and vegetables is very time and labour intensive.
You found your dream home. This place is heaven on Earth. I am so happy for you and your dog.
Have watched you for a number of years. Wish you and occy every happiness for the future.
What a stunning property but that fig tree is gorgeous!! Aww Occy living his best life love it!! Can't wait to see the creek running! So exciting!! Paws up!!
Love the bloopers at the end, so fun! Love your new dream property/ home even more so & seeing what you’re doing with it & hearing your plans! I can definitely feel your heart is in the place & and Occy is so happy & free there, so I am excited to see more! Thank you for the inspiration to dream big & your mental wellness awareness! Much love to you & Occy! 💛🙏
I'm so happy you are there, and getting settled. Let the journey of land life begin!! Can I say, since occy is well seasoned, now would be a great time to get a puppy. It will further make occy young at heart again, which is good for his health, but he will also be a good trainer for a puppy. The puppy will take on lot of his mannerisms, looking up to occy.
I think you made the right decision to tear down that old shed it looks like it could fall down on it's own soon!!! The whole property looks amazingly beautiful!!
Seeing Occy so happy and content is adorable. What an amazing place to have the best tree house.
Looks like you could be bulk buying some good work gloves!
Congratulations Max and Occy. I was thinking of an appropriate name for your place and being as Occy has made this journey with you and he's getting up there in years, you should honor his friendship, That's why I think OCCLAND should be the chosen name. Not to be confused with Auckland. You, Occy and the Vanwives have been instrumental in the decision for my retired husband and I to build a campervan. We're just starting our build, Thank you and keep posting. We send our Love and best Wishes from Ontario, Canada.
So happy to hear that you're starting a build! How is it going so far? 💛
@@MaxandOccy well it started with a 2017 Transit 350 HD that had engine issues which we were aware of. The motor had to be rebuilt but still a good price regardless. Busy reinstalling the motor so starting the insulation in about a week or so. Can't wait to travel!!
Beautiful property. The indigenous name for fig is Birra Birra (according to google), which could work as a property name :)
There is no way I’d ever want to go back inside with all those awesome little spots. I’d be at that creek (even without the water) everyday!
Absolutely beautiful and I love how Occy knows it’s his home. Great video!
Fabulous for him, no going up and down to and from the van, no steps in the house, familiar area every day - excellent for a dog of his age, more comfortable.
Don’t rush the name!! It’ll show up for you very soon! It will manifest like the property did!!❤
Thanks for the tour and thanks to Zak for the outstanding camera work capturing your indescribable new home. Love seeing you boys so happy.
I would meditate on that huge fig tree! What a great way to connect to its wisdom and to the energy of Mother Nature herself! Gorgeous! 💗 Congrats on your new home and all of the wonderful adventures it will provide you and others. 🎊
I’m thrilled for you and Occy! What a Majestic property! Occy and you look so happy ♥️ Thank you to your friend for filming.
Enjoy the adventure!
Occy looks so cute following you around, your new home feels comfy already and now you can take your time and have fun with your creative mind to transform the cottage into Max and Occy's home. So beautiful and magnificent, awe inspiring rain forest.
Yes! My husband and I are definitely keen to stay with you. What an incredible location.
I think using Birra Birra would be great as a name. Catchy, and is all about that fig tree. 😊
Maybe Birra Birra Estate
or
Birra Birra Haven
Also, Tyler & Todd made some nice raised garden beds. There is video of course but I assume you probably could contact them directly or through the Vanwives. 😊
What an incredible property, Max!! Wishing you and Occy many happy years there! Occy looks right at home, he makes a beautiful doormat. Love, hugs and scratchies for both of you❣️🐾🐾
I couldn't be happier for you and Occy. Your place is a dream and I'm so glad it has come true for both of you. Y'all make me smile.
Seeing dear Occy with Max warms my heart.
Thank you for the tour, the grounds are absolutely stunning, I love all the enormous trees. I realise this is a really stupid British question, how much of a worry are poisonous snakes with Occy?
Stay safe, love Sue and Bryn xx
This is the epitome of tranquility. How very exciting for this new chapter in yours and Occy’s life. Just a thought building a treehouse would be amazing.
Does your face hurt from smiling so much 😂 It's a joy to see you and Occy so happy. I remember buying my dream home here in the Catskills, NY (that I call Pondering). Even though there was so much work to be done... I could not stop smiling. I will greatly enjoy watching all of your plans come to life. Blessed be...
Fabulous video ❤. Your property is breathtaking, the trees, the sounds of nature and the wildlife…pure heaven. Excited to follow you and Occy on this adventure. Also, thank you for keeping mental health at the forefront, 30+ years ago I lost my husband and good friend to suicide within a year of each other, I carried a lot of guilt for many years. I was in my late 20’s, it changed who I was and given the era I suffered in silence and became suicidal myself. Fortunately I found a great therapist and a spiritual path to a better place. Looking forward to next weeks video 🌈
For the veggie patch: grow cherry tomatoes, do crop rotation in the different garden beds. Set up a worm farm. Buy a can of tea tree spray and spray it on any cuts or scratches from walking around the property.
Fantastic place.
I love your property. Being in nature and the beauty of knowing it's all yours to protect is amazing. And the the fact that you are preserving history is also amazing and important for future generations.
Looking forward to what your property will become. 😊
I loved the filming style! I’m not much of a vanlife watcher, but I love watching homestead type videos where someone is really maintaining and improving a site, so your next stage of life in UA-cam is going to suit me well, just subscribed. Your new home is gorgeous, magical really, can’t wait to see how you work with it :D
"[this porch is where] Occy & I have our coffees." The dog I grew up with loved coffee with milk and sugar.
Hey Max and Occy. Love seeing how happy you are ❤️ Bit obvious but Birra Birra retreat or maybe Figgy wood hideaway. Have a blessed week 🙏❤️
Yes, yes, yes to the tiny home idea!!! Outdoor showers/baths are the best! I would love to see you build a sauna and cold plunge there too 😊
Wow!! I just love your property Max and you definitely have a slice of paradise. You and Occy are so blessed with your rainforests,wildlife,walking tracks ,creeks and ancient trees. Congratulations to you both and I can wait to see how you transform your property. I can see your vision for cabin and guest house and would put it on our wish list for places to stay in future. My heart just melted when Occy fell asleep under the fig having found his forever home.
You've hit the jackpot with this beautiful place. I'm so happy for you and Occy.
There’s so many dream spots on this property to make a real tree house with sun power and everything! 🤔 🤗 🌳 🦜
As a person who loves gardening and is working to create a food forest in the yard of my new home, I find that it restricts my summer travel to just a couple of days at a time, primarily because of the need to water it. I am now in the process of setting up a drip irrigation system with a timer so I can leave for longer periods-although that doesn’t address the need to harvest regularly. Self-sufficiency requires a lot of work constantly.
What a beautiful property! I love your plans for your space. I also love the new filming! Thank you Zac!! The first tree that you showed in the video would be great for building a tree meditation space. I know you and Occy will be so happy in your new space!
Stunning!
How lucky you and Occy are to be able to live And enjoy your days in such a beautiful paradise.
Occy seems so very relaxed, he knows he's home.
So happy for you!
It's so beautiful! I'm awestruck and truly happy for you and Occy, Max. I love the idea of honoring the indigenous people in the name you select. I'm so looking forward to this Big Adventure! Thanks for including us!
Hey Max thanks for the tour of your sensational property! Occy looks very happy with the open spaces & SO happy for you both! 🍻🤗🇦🇺💙💙
I can't get over how incredibly beautiful your land is! I'm having a hard time coming up with a fig-related name for it, so my only suggestion is Haven Lee 💛 (like heavenly). I love all your plans and I'm very glad the outdoor loo gets to remain as a feature on your land 😊. Zak did a stellar job filming and I made sure to give his IG a follow. Loving the bloopers at the end 😂 Much love to you and Oc. 😊
Me neither Mel! Honestly still pinching myself every morning when I wake up to the bird sounds and then go out and admire the view 🙌🏼 And naming wise I am exploring a few regarding the fig but perhaps using the indigenous names for them 💛
Indigenous are being highly exploited whilst using Corporations currently, people aren’t researching to fully understand wheres this is leading all Australians, tread carefully Max, many are also not on board with that Voice. Maybe speak to the local peoples, get a feel for the area first. ❤
Dreams really do cometrue 🎉🎉🦮💙💙✊🏼
And if he didn't want to name his whole place Haven Lee, he could use that name for the open area where he said it would be a good place for a tiny home, Or even better, Heaven Lea. A lea is a meadow, so... (well, imo anyway 😊)
The Frugal Fig, or The Frugal Figgy, Farmstead! Love seeing you with Eamon & Bec and Jazz & Crystal/Vanwives!
The only thing that’s sucks that I can’t watch max and occy right now cheers mate I appreciate what you have done
Wow! Beautiful land and filming! Paradise. I love to see Occy so happy! And I also would love to see what wildlife there is. Already saw the little kangaroos ❤
I wish you 2 all the happines and love in your new life.
Such a beautiful property!! Can't wait to see all the amazing things to come!! Occy is so at home 🏡🌳🌴🐕
Hey Max! Not trying to overstep here, but since Occy is a senior pup who is starting to stiffen up and lose energy, it’s really important to keep any extra weight off of him. I highly recommend giving his coat a trim - it might shed anywhere from 2-7lbs of hair that he has to carry around. I just lost my senior dog (13yo Bouvier who also had joint problems in the end) and once we did that, she was 5lbs lighter, moved with ease and even got some of her puppy energy back. Can’t hurt to lighten the load. ❤
although it's winter here right now so maybe not until Summer! Even northern NSW around where he is, nights get cold
Donated..!! Thank you for fundraising and sharing your journey and being an advocate for taking care of ones mental health. And cheers to you & Occy on this exciting new chapter in your lives. You are lit up from the inside showing us your & Occy's amazing property.
Thank you! 💛💛
