巣...ビーチと湖side、鳥のけいれん、自然と天文学の愛好家のために！

I am a passionate scuba diver and marine biology enthusiast. I have really enjoyed working on this house in the last 4 months during my weekends to give a tired old Queenslander from Ipswich an energising spruce up it so dearly deserved.
I have travelled the world and made use of others homes as an alternative to hotels, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the home away from home, particularly during the lengthy visits.
I love a wine out on the deck with the telescope aimed up to the heavens, as I love beach combing and wildlife watching in this neighbourhood.
Although I do enjoy the relaxed and out of reach position of The Nest, I can easily get to Hervey Bay for all the water sport, restuarants and shopping my heart desires, or get on my kite or bike and get my heart pumping just outside my street here in Toogoom.
I am part of the surf life saving club on the Gold Coast, where I can get on the jet ski and patrol the beautiful beaches when I am not in Hervey Bay. I also scuba and free dive around the world, which is my first love and passion.
As you can probably tell, I love animals and being close to the natural world.

Everything about Toogoom is unique and wonderful. All the people I have met here are friendly and helpful. The nature and wild life is respected and admired, and there's a real sense of community. The location is ideal for all interests, so I can't rave enough about it.
The house is a beautiful character filled Queenslander, like none in the neighbourhood, so you will see it sticks out like a sore thumb :)
The colour scheme is cool to suit the very warm summers here, but tranquil enough to assist in your vacation mode.
There is always a coastal breeze that the house gets due to it being slightly elevated and the wind direction is typically south easterly.
We have newly landscaped the gardens, and are working on establishing fruit trees, a river bed and outdoor lounging spaces. The winding paths will soon be flanked by trees and shrubs that will attract birds and wild life.
Inside the house, you'll find 3.2m high ceilings which are great for keeping the house airy and cool. The vj boards and rails give the house dimensional character, so too the fret work in the kitchen. The galley style laundry boasts a vintage wash area that leads to the bathroom and toilet. All the furniture and accessories have been chosen to accompany the styling of the home.
