Areas...Around Daylesford is beautiful and many fringe properties are being built by traditional methods you were talking about. There are many more pretty historic little towns between Daylesford and Ballarat I personally would buy in but I just have to check a few names of towns. Also, be very car...

It gets mighty cold and unbearably hot in that part of Victoria. If you are living in a caravan, it will be tuff especially if you have young kids but I have seen a few families build a home by living on the land. Helyn is right, council may not approve the caravan on site for a number of years. Our...

Re: Suggestions on what to put in my entry hob?!!Interior Decorating Lounge

Sep 08, 2010 12:25 pm

What state are you in? In Victoria you could contact RMIT, Chisolm or Latrobe as they all have fine art departments. They could put you on to students who might have sculpture they would like to sell. As for pots / vases, I have a friend who has bought some really lovely, large ones and has them ou...

Hi Wonderland Whatever you put there needs to be something you love. Dont put anything there at the moment just for the sake of it, you will know when you see it. I like the sculpture idea as well but only buy it if 'its the one'. Also, as for vases with sticks or fake flowers...well not my thing at...

Re: Seeing Straight through houseFeng Shui

Sep 03, 2010 9:08 pm

Ross, I believe the perceived problem here is the openable door at the back. If you want to see through into the garden, perhaps you could have a window directly in line with the front door? Then the back door can be off-set. This is exactly how our house is designed. You can see right through to t...
