The plan is...

A couple of baby boomers will leave the big city of Sydney and move north to a coastal location where the climate is sub-tropical and the sea is in view.

The plan is to built a passive-solar environmentally friendly house on a rural-residential block of land big enough to support a permaculture garden and some fruit trees.

On-going living costs are to be minimised through the use of grid-feed solar electricity, solar hot water, growing our own vegetables and fruit and having a supply of fresh eggs from our own chickens.

We will collect and store our own rain water so no water bills for us.
No to sewerage also means no bills for a sewerage service either.

The objective is to create a comfortable and affordable lifestyle where we can enjoy middle age and beyond.

Sustainable Sea Change

A couple of baby-boomers will leave the big city of Sydney and move north to a coastal location where the climate is sub-tropical and the sea is in view.
Over the next few years they will design and build an environmentally friendly, passive-solar house using sustainable products and technologies.

A permaculture garden will supply vegetables and eggs.
This blog will attempt to progressively cover the possibilities, events and progress of this sustainable seachange
