hello to everyone,

due to health problems we are having to sell our property in south east queensland.

see the following link for pics and details of the property:

Len, I was unable to open your link.

[Richard on Maui]

Then I cut and pasted it into the address bar and deleted the last "." and that worked.

[gardenlen]

that's odd richard,

won't work for me either from this site but when i open my own page it works there? unless this forum has some sort of block?

It works now.

Sorry to read you have to move, your place sounds idyllic. I'll be thinking about you.

I went to your site and I'm intrigued by all the recipes, but especially by the prominent advertising of your tick free conditions there. I was wondering: is the land naturally that way or have you managed things so that the nasty creatures died off? I can't work 2/3's of the land here for 2/3's of the year in large part because of them.

[gardenlen]

you can buy in areas here in queensland at least that i know of that have either few/very few or no ticks to worry about. i think it comes down to rainfall more than anything else. those who go for the higher rainfall areas usually end up in the areas with the worst tick populations. a property owner can manage ticks and keep his property basically free from them but he will be using chemicals to do it, there is no other way that i know of, of making your place tick free, apart from cattle breed selection that goes a long way in management.

we have a variety of ticks in our state eg.,. cattle ticks (the least damaging), dog ticks, shell-back ticks & scrub ticks (probably the most damaging).

Len,
I have tried to email you twice in the last few days and keep getting the mailerdaemon (or whatever it is) notice that my message wasn't sent and that the computer has given up trying to send it...

Basically I am curious about your property. How much are you asking for it? I am also curious about issues like frost, average annual rainfall, distance from the nearest village, town, highway etc etc etc. Also, is the structure a legally permitted dwelling? If you want to email me it is [deleted by mod so you wouldn't get hammered by spammers!]

Thanks,

Richard

[gardenlen]

for all the structure is council aproved as a class one dwelling which is a home. it has final aproval so requiers no more council involvement unless a future owner has need to expand or whatever.

Oh, Len!
I'm so sorry to read this! I've been away for awhile, but been thinking about you and your wife. Oh, dear, I'd better email you.... :(

[gardenlen]

thank you jeanne,

look forward to you e/mail

len

[jeanneinsunland]

oooh, guess you didn't get it, then. I literally sent it as soon as I posted that. I'll ttry again. Just sending love and hugs, etc.

jeanne

[gardenlen]

for those who are depressed about land prices etc.,. etc.,. my advice is if you have the hankering to buy acreage do it now don't listen to real estate hype, if prices did fall it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the rise in interest rates.

my other advice is! you get what you pay for in land just like most other things, learn how to find good land there is a huge difference, and it isn't the job of real estate sellers to tell you what's what they simply don't know their only interest is selling or should i say flogging anything off to get the commission.

at the end of the day maybe more so with land purchases "Let The Buyer Beware"

happy land hunting.

I've posted a link on a survivalist site that I go to. People are always looking for retreats/properties. Hope thats ok.

[gardenlen]

thank you anissa,

that's fine by us.

len :)

[barely run]

What's the link to the survivalist site Annissa I would like to check it out.
Thanks

The forum is

Good site, some strange people, but some very smart, clued in people too.

[barely run]

Certainly a bit different on that site...some good...some out there..some absolute ##@@##. That's what I love about a free country. We can all have our say.
Permaculture and sustainable living to me is still the best option for survival if ever the world wide catastrope happens.

[Anissa]

Yeah, definately some characters :lol:
Quite a few are ex/current military types. Seen some bad stuff around the world. So unfortunately have seen the bad side of human nature first hand. :cry:
Its a large cross section of people really, like I said, military, political, farmers, desk workers. Think I might be the only stay at home mum/gardener :D

[Anissa]

Hi Len,

Sorry we hijacked the thred there for a minute. Someone asked me on te other site if I know the suburb. I feel like a real estate agent :D . Are you going though an agent? So is it on a realestate web site?

[gardenlen]

g'day anissa,

it is on domain.com & realestate.com not sure if i have those links exactly correct. it's on the following sites as well:

http://YourEstate.com.au - search for 'Property# 8256 '

http://www.owner.com.au - search for 'Property Number: 22556'

i have it on this page at our site:

[sabine]

hi Len, try these free realestate sites too - with a green/alternative approach:

http://envirorealestate.org.au
i know this is free to list and free to sell - the only cost is an optional $1 per uploaded photo (ones already on the net are free). part of the profits from company advertisments on the pages are shared with charities.

and

http://coorah-services.com/component/op ... Itemid,143 (http://coorah-services.com/component/option,com_mtree/task,listcats/cat_id,720/Itemid,143)
(sorry the link is such a long one!, just trying to point you to the right place) i don't know the details about this place (recently found it myself), but it says its free to list, and the rest of the site is very cool - its mainly a search engine that when you use it shares its advertising profits with charities.

peace,
sabine

[gardenlen]

thanks sabine,

i had been looking for the envior' site earlier on but couldn't find it didn't show up on a search anyway i got it now so will look at thsoe sites later.

len :D

[gardenlen]

g'day anissa,

how do you get to subscribe to that site? i have tried a number of times now and it keeps saying "the subscription section has been suspended try again later" or words like that?

len :?

[Anissa]

Hmm, thats weird. I'll pm the web host and see what the deal is. I haven't received an email from them to explain this. We were having issue with a world class TROLL so its probably related to that!!

[Anissa]

Len,

The subscription page was disabled, but is back online now.

[gardenlen]

now listed on the following site:
