Hello Everyone,
My wife and I travelled to Gympie over Christmas 2014/15 to look at properties to buy for our retirement in 10 years time (or sooner) and we have got a lovely home in the great town of Gympie........
It has 4 bedrooms, media room, SUPERB views, a 9x7m shed (not big enough at the moment) and two car garage on a 2.5 acre block in Chatsworth - 5 minutes out of the city centre.
We are super excited about the future and moving down to a cooler climate where we can WORK ON BELLETTS!!!!!! (me that is) Bernadette will be tending to the gardening which she enjoys.
Photos to come:

Sweet!
You'll only be a stones throw away from myself, Mr Orphanage n Leadfoot Liz, Rassle, Occa n Trish, PR95 n Mum + a bunch of others
And when I say stones throw, you better have a bloody good throwing arm as it's a good 2hr stone throw
But you'll still be within cruizin' distance that's for darn toots

Yes the previous owner was a HAM Radio operator and the "lightning rod" has been removed.
A radio room - 3x3m room in the shed - with 23 double power points in and outside of the shed (46 power points) I will only need 1 metre long extension leads in there - heh heh heh. L
I am planning to double the size of the shed to 14x9m and insulating it to fit all our toys in it with working room.
We cannot wait.

Hey thats great news! We will all finally eventually get to meet you both, and stinky. Looks like a really great location, with a shorter humid season. How much sooner than later can you make that retirement do you reckon?
Thanks for showing, Matt.

Yep - it would be great to be driving distance from you guys.
I say 10 years - but if we sell up everything we have up here we could be down there in months not years - we would have to do some sort of work - but not what we are doing now.
I work for my families printing business - and have done since leaving school. My parents both work in the business and are in there early 70's - dad still loves his work and they both are healthy and active.
Who knows...................anyone wanna buy a printing business in Darwin?
