Retired couple who love to travel, but also love to be back in our own home.
We like to keep our home updated so maintenance is a top priority. We stopped for a couple of years before resuming with HomeLink & we don’t always do a consent form, so our 24 exchanges have not been recognised.
Peter is a bike rider who loves anywhere with hills, whilst Jan is into scrapbooking so takes lots of photos.
We strive to keep ourselves fit.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our neighbourhood is very quiet & our Court is very friendly & only 2kms from town so can either drive in 5 mins. or walk for 20 mins. We have a fantastic walking track of about 5 kms around our great lake which will take an hour to walk & you can stop for a coffee in town if you wish. You will see a lot of wildlife on the lake & the ducks like to be fed & if you are really lucky, you may see a platypus. There are a number of water birds such as spoonbills & pelicans. You will stroll past our beautiful Art Gallery with a coffee shop, the local
swimming pool that has an indoor heated pool & also the brand new library.
There is a Community Centre next to the local Hospital which is just around the corner from home.
We have an Plane Museum at the local airport which also caters for gliding where we have had World Championships. You can go for a glider flight & see the area from above.
There are many restaurants, hotels & take away venues to choose from.
