UPDATE!
Our land purchase completed this morning!
My first act was to chain off the access with a PRIVATE PROPERTY sign to make it clear to the locals, dog walkers etc that the land is no longer "just an old orchard".
It's amazing how most of the locals all heard about it WEEKS before we told them! The old rural bush telegraph at work!
After 5 years here my wife has become well known to the locals .. she is NOT regarded as a "townie" or as a "hobby farmer. We have already been offered all sorts of stuff by the local farmers & farm suppliers, either free or at a huge discount. Clearly it's wise to make friends with the locals!
Anyway, I suspect my free time has now been re-allocated for the forseeable future ....
We have found a smallholding after a mere 5+ years!
