Me again Justis,

This thread is far too addictive, I must retreat soon to housework......yawn.

We watched an English episode of escape to the country this week.
It was very interesting, they showed a rather rough and ready farm in a very rural area with some forest.
These people had a nice old basic cottage, but also set up a glamping business.

They had put the large tents on to timber decks, very good idea.
They also had a little old shack converted to accomodation.
There was no power on the site. So all lighting was from some sort of solar candles.
The toilet was a eco or camping one, not sure which.
Barbecues were outside for cooking, could be a problem here in the summer.

But the best bit was they had built a really rustic large shed from corrugated iron, which contained a pot belly stove for heating and a large undercover barbecue which all campers could use when the weather was bad.
There were nice old squashy sofas, a tennis table, darts board etc in there.
Their policy was nothing to be wasted, take all their rubbish with them. It was a brilliant and popular concept.

Thinking of you, quite often you could buy 50 or 100 acres of poor land, preferably with fresh water, no power needed.
I have seen places like this very very cheap.

Yeah I had some thing like that in mind for the Waroona property, it adjoined state Forrest so people could trek beyond the property

And also had the idea of a sheltered common area, also had in mind targeting group/clubs.

Location is always important and the appeal of Waroona was it was just over 1 hour from Perth so people could get there easily before dark on a Friday and could get back to Perth on the following Monday morning without the need to pitch a tent and packup

Anyway my business is a priority for now but as they say "One Powerball" LOL
