Late in 2015 I bought five acres of denuded coastal farmland on the south-eastern most tip of mainland Australia, about an hour from where I grew up. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, with the tireless help of family and friends, I designed and built my dream home, made a seperate 200m2 painting studio and revegetated the land. To this day it was simultaneously the most rewarding and exhausting project of my life.
