I hope it works for her Foxy. We see far too many come out here, build their dream on an acre or two, & find it doesn't work for them. The isolation, distance from family & kids, creepy crawlies or just the long drive to work takes the gloss off the picture for many.

The fact that despite having 5 ambulance depots all with in less than 23 kilometres of us, it always takes over an hour to get one here, frightens a lot of older folk.

I was pretty impressed when I saw her back a large horse float about 50 yards between 2 reasonably close together buildings. Not too many drivers could have done it in one go, so apart from her fear of snakes, she may do well.

Dear Hassie,

She sounds like she knows what she's doing.
And isn't the type of city folk that want
to try country living for a bit. The fact that
she knows her way around horses is also a good sign -
don't you think?

Anyway, Thanks again for joining in this discussion.
Enjoy talking to you.

Dear Hassie,

I forgot to add that we're thinking of eventually
moving to the mid-North Coast of NSW one day.
I've got family out that way so it would be nice
to be closer to them.

Anyway we'll see - it's still a way off.
