    Nick get your UA-cam channel going, it will be a hit. There are very few channels featuring the Aussie Bush and off-grid living. Your boys can then concentrate on the boat and we will have lots more content to watch. I will definitely subscribe.

    My wife and i bought a property in NE Victoria. Nothing but a shipping container. 3 years later have a tiny home. Water tanks. Solar and a job....its day to day stuff but were lucky we had " neighbours" that really helped us. Its not bloody easy. Year in a tent with 3 dogs . But we love life. We didn't go off grid to save the world but because we fell in love with the property. Hunt deer, milk cows, chop wood drink beers....

      @@MrWackozacko I'm working in the theory that it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. No septic. Tried the composting toilet ( Aus approved) and they sux. So we still use a camping toilet on rotation and dump them at the dump point in town. Nar to live on your own land you need aboriginal cultural heritage studies, fire study, soil samples and reports , tree serveys. Then I found out you can't build within 60m of a tree and your not allowed to cut them down either. Since the last big fires most of NSW and Vic are now pretty much full fire zones so need special materials.to build plus triple glaze windows ECT ect. I'll be the only person in the world to go to prison for living on land they fully own because I'm not going anywhere.

      @@paulcox9366 Im thinking a caravan or one of the fold out vanhomes so i can avoid as much litigation in case of worse case scenario by being able to pack up at any time. The water and electricity i can do myself but it seems to get rid of septic properly you need your own leech field and whatnot which means you have to break ground to dig or in any case any discharge to the environment the council may have a chance to involve themselves in my life. Which defeats the purpose, like youre saying

    Starting from scratch is never easy , but you can make just like you want , right 👍
    Having a river , is a massive bonus , so usefull , water is life .
    For a good bush mortar , brake up an old mud mound white ant nest , like the ones you can burn the center out of , and make a bread oven with . When smashed into dust you just add water , and it has everything in it to make a render - mortar ect . The ants make the perfect mix in the render for there mud nest , so your just repurposing it 🙏

Thing is loads more mainlanders are moving down now, making their own communities, bringing needed skills etc. I'm a chippie, but i'll bring some concreting gear with me so I can patch a few of those chips off the shoulders.
