    So apparently that lizard is called a Land Mullet.. I shit you not. Is this a sign to keep the mullet indefinitely? 🤔
    Thanks to my patrons @virginiaring for the lizard facts! 🙌🏼

      Max, I agree with you! It’s just hair so do whatever makes you happy! And I’m so happy that you are experiencing true happiness in your life. The accomplishments you have already achieved on your land are amazing and you should be proud of yourself. And can we get a closeup of your newest arm tattoo? Also, now that you have land, do you plan on getting Occy a sibling? 😊

    Hahaha, so the name of the lizard… get this… is a Land Mullet and its the largest skink found in Australia and one of the largest in the world. We first encountered one at Dangar Falls on Waterfall Way and thought it was the most beautiful lizard we’d ever seen. How awesome to find them at your home

    • @MaxandOccy
      @MaxandOccy  ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Okay I admit I first googled this to make sure you weren't taking the piss 😂 Unbelievably it is a Land Mullet! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing (and can't be conincidental) fact 💛

      Dont let a harmless Huntsman spider and a lizard scare you and hold you back. I've lived here 54 years. There's nothing to worry about. You will see more wildlife on Max's property than most though, as it's rich vegetation.

    This advice from a grannie - WEAR GLOVES! You don't want bites from all kinds of critters, so after I got all varieties of bites, stings, cuts and scratches doing yard work I bought 3 pair of gloves. Hands are a whole lot better! lol Big hug to beautiful Occy.

    When you have a smile on your face the whole video, it's good. The property is so beautiful. Having your own figs, bananas, oranges and mulberries is icing on the cake.

    I'm amazed that people are getting so bent out of shape about the mullet, that was a great video of you getting it!! That spider in the box looked like a brown recluse, they love wood, cardboard, and piles of junk. Be careful they are poisonous, and I looked, they do have them in Australia. It's good to see you happy and with a purpose. Grief is brutal and there is no way around it, you just have to get through it day by day.

    It would be really cool to make the deck where you could easily move the van in and out. Especially if you wanna host some of your friends that travel. Love the idea of having a shower right off the deck❤

    You look great regardless of your hair style IMO. But it’s what’s on the inside that counts and you seem to be a lovely person.

    Riding mowers make mowing alot of fun. Will you be naming you new mower? Beautiful scenery. Your living the life that some people dream about. Away from the hectic way of living.

    It warms my heart to hear how happy you are right now, and I thank you for sharing your journey with us and opening up the conversation about mental health and ways to nurture your inner self, which I’m currently trying to do. We often forget to be kind to ourselves as well when we’re looking after others all the time.
    And Great idea with the van deck…. That’s going to be a fantastic entertaining space. Looking forward to watching all your ideas come to fruition. Lovely to see Occy so happy that you’re back home 🤗

  • @DebNewton-kh4cv
    @DebNewton-kh4cv ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What a fantastic mower Max! Also, have you given any thought to Occy having a hair cut. He’s got quite a coat, probably a double coat, so a trim would make him feel more comfortable in the heat. Just an idea…

    The Occy and Max reunion is so sweet he was so so so excited 🥹 That deck is going to look amazing, it’s such a beautiful spot there where the vans park. Can’t wait to see it in the next episode!! And Yayyy for the mower looks so fun 🤩

  • @badger9156

    I’m imagining the person who comes across the dumped mower and knows how to get it going. Happy day for them (this would be my handy brother who always comes home with things from a dump run)

      I'm still having to piggyback off other people's comments as there's no option to start my own post 😢
      So I'm sorry to Jen, who has got me growing on her thread 😂.
      I just wanted to ask, "How in God's good name are you running round with nothing on your feet. Are you not worried about being bitten by poisonous spiders".😢

    Wow, Max, that property is really otherworldly, it’s so beautiful, like a fantasy. The deck is a great idea, give you and Occy a comfy bug free place to entertain and hangout until your house is done. But even though it’s a form of paradise, always remember dangers exist in all forms. Especially Occy because he’s so innocent, well, at least he looks it.

    Quintessential Aussie in spades in this video - biting ants, a huge lizard, a mullet and Australian Shepherd and a Blue Heeler!
    I think it’s hilarious that you’re building a van deck first over progressing to the cabin, but I can see it being the perfect parking spot for visitors too… how many times do you think it’ll get hit?! 🤔

    Max, certainly the “mullet” has been a fashion statement. But with Summer here, time for a warm weather cut, and the “rear fringe” to make an exit. 🤭

  • @ashleymilleson5019
    @ashleymilleson5019 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love watching you and Occy on your new adventures. Shame on Eamon for cutting your beautiful hair but it’s all good. 😊Looks fine. Some of those slimy critters on your property look a bit frightening. Can’t wait to see the finished deck that you and Simon are building. Your place looks better each and every episode. Please give Occy big cuddles from me. I just Love him. 🥰
