Sunshine Coast Project – Stage 3
Of course the plan is to paint the caravan red and orange! You might have guessed by now that there is a bit of an orange and red theme going on ;-). At the end of an exciting day we planted some (orange flowering) grevilleas to attract the birds that we all love so much.
While working on the caravan this week we also created a little garden bed under the trees which is now home to our bromeliads, tillandsias and orchids. We made use of the old timber fence posts as a sculptural feature element incorporating the air plants.
“It looks and feels so much more like home now.”

We now have a water tank matching the red container!
Also today the septic system went in. We are making progress which feels great 🙂
Glass Sliding door in end
Today was the big day of lifting the containers onto the concrete cubes. The first one needed five goes until it sat exactly in the right spot! More crusher dust arrived in the afternoon to make it look more beautiful around (of course we need to spread it out first…)

The owner put a road up to our hill so that trucks and
normal cars can get up – thank you!
He also left us his 20 heads of Brahman cattle to graze on the land – at least for now.
On 9 October 2015 we became the official “owners” of this beautiful piece of land, even though we see ourselves more like “care takers” of it. We love nature which is the reason we bought it. The plan is to make it a place for wildlife and maybe even a conservation area if possible. We immediately moved our 20″ storage container onto the hill. Weeks before we had painted the container orange and also painstakingly packed it with all of our belongings. We think we will miss our piggy mailbox though.
10 October 2015: we had a “bonfire and bubbles” container warming party with some of our dear friends. To make it easier for everyone to find our place we decided to put a street number on the entry post.

2014 – When we first saw the property, we fell in love with it straight away.
The block of land is about 15 acres in size and borders onto creeks and council reserves on two sides. There is also a concrete bridge leading to the gate which belongs to the property.
