NB: this is a revised post from The Beauty of Life



We have bought 15 acres, with a dam, in northern NSW. We went camping for two days with a dumpy level to work out the lay of the land, and plan a building pad for a shed, and eventually a house.
This was our toilet (pre-use of course):

Jimmy and Tom erecting the tents, and checking out the locals:


We had a lovely time, despite the toilet (Moo was horrified at the idea), and the fact that dinner was verging on inedible.
The kids enjoyed mucking around with the fire and toasting marshmallows. Matt and I had a glass of red wine (or two) in front of the fire after the kids finally went to sleep, and he reckoned it was worth every cent just to be able to sit outside and actually see the Milky Way. We woke up to a glorious cold foggy morning, and decided our first purchase for the shed is a king size bed.
