I have been approved for a home! I shall not after all be homeless.
It is in a new estate, so comes with the standard building noises during the day I have become used to, but should not have the regular demolition sounds. There is a dishwasher. There is heating. There is cooling. There is a walk in pantry and double glazing! Now I have to order a dog door insert for Mr Woof, organise the removalists, and figure out what goes where.
I guess this means I’m officially no longer a Melbournian, I am an official Ballaratian. Or is it a Ballaratbag?

And I’m moving just in time for winter. Into the suburb of Winter Valley. ❄️🧊🥶
The garage connected to the house will also be very good for that, less ice scraping from the windshield.

Congrats!! Yay!! And definitely Ballaratbag (as a former Bendigonian)

OK, I’m late to this party, but I thought Ballaratbag only applied if you live in Wendouree. Or has that vibe expanded with new settlement/immigration. I last lived there in the late 70s, so my info could well be out of date.

I’d love to move out that way.
Hopefully I can get fully remote by the end of the year.

Hurrah! Enjoy the serenity of the Rat. I am well acquainted with some of the new developments around Delacombe. Quite affordable for the space and facilities as a rental. Will it be a long commute to all your usual things though?
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 week ago
16 minute commute to work, which is the main reason I leave home. Most everything else will be a similar distance or closer. I will be much closer to cows and forests.
