    I don’t mind admitting Max. I’m 64 and when you played the message live from the estate agent and he confirmed the property was sold. I honestly burst into tears. I couldn’t be more pleased for you. With everything you’ve been through over the last 3 years, this news couldn’t have come at a better time for you. The land looks stunning and so tranquil. Congratulations Max. I look forward to see what plans you’ve got. Take your time and enjoy the next episode in your life, you deserve it.👍🥂

    I've grieved alongside you as my 20 year old daughter Catherine died exactly 2 months after Lee. To see you smiling and looking forward to life and what's ahead on this property means the world to me.

    My wife and I have lived in this part of the world for a bit over 40yrs. As far as the flooding we've always had high blocks away from the worst levels but have been cut off for a number of days. I'm sure you'll be able to use your common sense and have a generator and solar panels. You'll also need a pantry of rice, soya beans and dare I say it tinned fish and some tinned vegies for variety. Long life milks of your choice along with your preferred teas and coffees. Don't treat it as "if " you get flooded in but *when* it will happen. Always keep weather eye on BOM and don't go off the block if the forecast is for lots of rain. Have fun cause we sure have, all the very best young fella !

    • @lizbarnes9078
      @lizbarnes9078 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@earthstar2493 actually, as someone who experienced depression for many reasons such as my husband and daughter dying, depression is something that comes and goes throughout life. It’s a chemical imbalance at many times.
      Lee had way more years of joy and adventures to fill 80yrs of living. I’m pretty certain covid quarantine/ social gathering restrictions play a big part of her challenges. She was very detached from people she loved not by her choice. However, her challenges have shined a spotlight on mental health and so many have found strength through her tragedy.
      I’m sure she is at peace and her spirit is connected to the ones that she loves again. 💛💛💛

    🎊 HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY 🎂, SWEET OCCY 🐾, AND MANY MORE!!! A *big congratulations* to Max, for becoming the new steward of this sweet piece of land 🎉!!! I'm so happy for you & Occy and could feel the emotions and excitement through the screen! From just a few short clips, this property already seems perfect with a real *peace & abundance* vibe. I love the tropical landscape and that you heard just the quietness of the place with the occasional birds singing 🎶 instead of endless cicadas. Native wildlife instead of many crabs 😅. Clear and flowing water source, a big level grassy yard for Occy, and last but not least, a sweet starter house that you can move in immediately. This really does seem wonderful 😘. Can't wait to see more! 🎊

    My heart just melts for you Max. I can feel just how peaceful and quiet this land is. I was a Realtor once upon a time and I found that my clients often got the deal if I wrote a beautiful letter explaining why my Buyer should get the property out of other offers that were probably similar. You made a connection with the owner who I am sure didn't want to just give it up to anyone and that is the magic that helped make this dream come true. It's made me believe that my land is waiting for me when I am ready to build again.

It's the start of a whole new and different way of live, but you still have everything you love. You have the beach close by, nature and friends, including new friends, yet to come. So much new content from you and Occy to come. I can't wait to see how Occy gets along with the animals on the property.

    Oh my goodness Max. Congratulations on finding your own piece of happiness. My husband (who is also a TH-camr in Australia)) and I did exactly the same thing you did but in 2021, in beautiful far NQ tableland region. However we are probably about 15-20 years older than you at a guess. We too moved to our piece of paradise to build an off grid property which we started living on full time in 2023, doing all the work ourselves. We also moved to our dream property with our beautiful family dog, Nala (short haired bc) but lost her in a tragic accident Oct 2023, she often cameoed in some of my hubby’s TH-cam videos. Fortunately for us we have been blessed with another bc; Pippa who has became our fur baby as we don’t have any grandkids yet.
    We have resonated with your story as I come from a health background working in Palliative care as an RN but now teach nursing remotely from our off grid home. We feel so blessed to be living our true lives as close to nature as possible with living off grid on a property similar size to yours. It is amazing how our lives can turn out. By moving to our property, we feel it was meant to be as we too have met wonderful like minded people and have made wonderful friends from our community. We look forward to watching many more of your videos on building your property. We think you are doing a terrific job and appreciate you taking us along and sharing your journey. We know how long and time consuming video taking/editing can be! Keep putting one foot in front of the other ☺️
