A tiny home without wheels....Creating the Ultimate holiday shack😁
Hi everyone!! Come and check out the new Joint!!
Over the next few vids we'll show you how we transform this block and shed into a little base camp for our family. We have taken 10 weeks to complete the build and we are stoked with how it's turned out.
This is part 1: Our first impressions and jobs on the Block!
We bought this place sight unseen while drinking beers in Exmouth last year. Crazy we know, but we think it's turned out alright!
Let us know what you think in the comments.

It all started when…
In December 2015 we packed up and hit the road for what we thought would be a 12 month Lap of Oz. Fast forward 6 years and we are creating a video series of our travels to show you all what it’s like to live life on the road!!

Thank you so much!
Hi mate, I just found your video. I live in Scotland, but have been to Oz 5 times. I love the country, the people, and most of all it's nature. After only 20 minutes of this post, I have to say you are going to lead the life that I would love. Although I have been to Sydney, Queensland is where I love with a passion. My last visit 6 years ago, I found relatives in the Glasshouse Mountains and stayed with them for a few weeks before I went off camping. My cuz's had 5 acres including an acre of water (dam). 40 species of birds, 5 species of snakes and a platypus in the pond that they hadn't seen in 4 years, but I did. I will follow your post as you live my dream. Best of luck to you and your family.
Such a beautiful place to live in. No crowd, no noice, only natural elements.
Great to see you have a different adventure. The 3 acre is great investment, one thing you will find is on property the most important is water, the tank size you have will last a month, you may need a bore to top it up. If your drilling ensure it’s greater than 30M from sewerage and dam. You won’t need to go far for good water. Another is you will need a 15 M perimeter around house with very low scrubs like a fire zone free of trees.( you can have over house just a dead zone). Keep grass very low in this zone and you will have minimum snakes and mice. If you have chooks they will come because of feed. In the dead zone run a circle of 50mm AG pipe with sprinklers and make sure your generator can run your bore.
Give me a home among the gumtrees With lots of plum trees A sheep or two, and a kangaroo A clothesline out the back Verandah out the front And an old rocking chair

Your going to love that hustler there a good zero turn
Thanks for letting us join in the fun. Here's something to help with all the things from the big green shed you'll be needing :)
Keep the dream alive, whether you are aware, or oblivious in your happy bubble, Australia has huge challenges coming, the likes our beautiful country, and her mostly decent Australians have never seen! Shop local, support farmers markets, your communities more than ever! Best wishes.
I've watched this three times now, my absolute dream is to have a place like that. Great work, congrats :)
Mowing may become your favourite activity. Load up the playlist on your head phones and disappear for hours! I bloody love it 👌
‘ALLAWAH’ would be a fitting name, indig for stay & rest place.
That view is awesome
Be glad you didn't have to build the trampoline Xmas eve, half short, tired and grumpy. Great dad experience.
We live in a “Shouse” with a a fam of 6. It’s amazing fun our kids love it We all ❤️ you’re channel. Enjoy your base camp!
Hey guys well done!! A good bit of Aussie paradise. Building one bit at a time gives u the vision of how to slowly expand your oasis in the bush. Your hard work and dedication will rub of on the kids. They will a great family life experience to remember. And so will you hahaha. lol!!
Love your work. You’ve had ‘Trip in a Van’, now you got a ‘Place beside the Dam’ 👍😃
Poor Bill when you took his wind chimes dad. He walked away pretty sad 😆…. You guys are an inspiration and so much love for your family

That moment mum stands back and watches the kids have a ball on the trampoline, priceless! Congratulations guys, awesome wide open place just what the kids ordered 😉👏.
Can’t wait to see part 2 👍🏻
Hi guys, Sorry I haven't commented for a while, we have been busy fixing our house after the floods here in Ipswich. Whow, just whow, we are genuinely so so happy for you all, what a absolutely beautiful property. How exciting for you all. We also want to tell you that you are such an inspiration to us, it's so refreshing that there are still families out there that are so loving and kind to each other. Congratulations and love ya's heaps. Roger and Trish. ❤️ 💙
Welcome to the neighbourhood! Love what you have done with the place! You are the first owners to put some real love into the property. Look forward to part 2.
Congrats guys on ya purchase. Looks amazing
Awesome spot guys - so happy for you all!

Awesome. Congratulations
Awesome job guys looks great and the kids are so excited amazing home base well done.
Absolutely beautiful, huge potential for you guys, congratulations. xx
Congratulations and well done on the Renovations. It’s a beautiful property and a great base for you guys.
So many firsts for you all now, be super mindful of run off water, spoon drains are the way to go, love the idea of setting a portion aside for camping, great semi passive income. Agree with the idea of Sea Containers for a cheap build either on the hill or near the shed, stackable n easy to add to with a bit of foresight. Looking forward to the progress videos. Suggest a light coloured roof n walls for your colour change, way better for heat reflection. See if you can stock your dam with yabbies or red claw n bass or perch
Honestly stoked for you guys. Fantastic 👍🏻
This ep is very inspirational. I love it how people built and DIY, it's something I admire. Look like you guys have a good spot, it's look serene from the drone footage. Congratulations 🎉

What a great spot guys. It's great to see the kids pitching in & working. There's nothing like a wonderful family working as a team. I've been following you guys from here in NZ for a fair while now & really enjoy your episodes 😊 Can't wait to see what you do with your new base. Also looking forward to more "on the road" adventures. It's been amazing watching your three kids growing up. They're so we'll adjusted to your lifestyle. They'll grow up to be good people because of the experiences you've had with them, and your closeness as a family. Lots of love & all the best team. 👍 😀😀
