At Home

In October 2005 I moved to Cranbourne North in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

An Australian Bush Retreat

From March 1990 until October 2005, I lived in a self-designed, mud brick house at Glenaroua (north of Melbourne and just north of Kilmore). The house was set on 33 hectares (95 acres) of native Australian flora and fauna habitat. Yes, there are kangaroos in the back yard! Plus plenty of animal friends and native wildlife. But no pet cats, only feral ones!

My home situation was somewhat more unique than most. Perhaps you'd like to know more:

• Raydon — an Australian bush retreat
   
• Mud brick home — small and comfortable
   
• Power & Energy — diesel power and solar energy
   
• Rural Communication — staying connected from the bush
