Got tired of the weather and my laziness... so I decided to go back to Rent-a-scope and test out their new gig down under using a recently popular DSO:

Heh... from your DSO pictures, it's very tempting!

Please look out for any great value properties for me... am scouting around for a property in ANZ.

Thanks!

Tachyon,

depends on where you would like to be located, and whether how far/close you want to be to towns, coastal areas, homesteads, farms, etc... those along the Great Ocean Road really look enticing with cliff views of the ocean, and smashing waves... some of this houses actually have telescopes placed at the balconies... probable choice of retiring in the future....

I thought so too!

Furthermore, with global warming and tides rising, I would prefer somewhere inland, and elevated.

my friend, you can get these ocean view houses for the price of a 5-rm HDB and they are really highly placed above the waves....inland would be good too! snake valley!

Cool! I'm looking for a few friends to set up a community there. Not good to be alone in a foreign country...
