Strahan – Day 3

Got a pretty good night’s sleep on the waterfront. Caught up with Jan as she and Sam were leaving town and heading to Zeehan to the museum.

We drove around town and checked out the property that we’d fallen in love with; 3 Vivien Street. It’s a lovely 4 bedroom 1890s heritage house on 1.5 acres backing onto the Hogarth Falls. It’s a lovely 40 minute rainforest walk along a platypus filled creek. Its just beautiful. The creek is in 3 Vivian Street’s backyard. Its such a fabulous setting. So peaceful and tranquil.

Turns out the council gardener is the next door neighbour – Jim. He’s such an interesting character. Also met the couple next door to him who had a similar house. They were also very lovely and all wanted us to join their street! We fell in love with it. We’ve also been told we can build cabins on the block for accommodation as there is such a shortage of holiday accommodation in the town. It has so much potential. The current owners also used to supply the town with organic vegies through the local IGA store. How fabulous is that!

Went back and measured up and took more photos later in the day. So much potential. So much space and right on the water. Even a spot for the boat.
