WooHoo, about time someone did this. Where abouts is this latest one your looking at?

Sounds awesome, is the 430 acres still near Nagambie?
I'm sure forum members would throw a few bucks a ride,a good way to cover your rates.

Pete,
The 430 acres is in Barkly which is about 1 hour North of Ballarat through Avoca. It is expected to settle toward the end of January. We have visited the block twice since Christmas and noted some very challenging terrain on the block itself with lots of gullies and some nasty hill climbs. I will post some more photos this week. We still haven't worked out the shortest route to the state forest yet as my wife's Toyota Echo makes exploration of the surrounding area a little difficult. We will keep everybody updated for when it will be available for use.

There was a heap of these giant mice on the block when we were there last week. I am going to have to make sure we lock up the cheese.
