    Greenethorpe needs you! That is the slogan for the next New South Wales town to throw its doors open to new families who are after a tree-change, or perhaps just want to enjoy the benefits of a country lifestyle and cheap housing.

    Taking inspiration from the town of Cumnock which has recently had unprecedented success with its $1 Farm House Project, Greenethorpe is set to rent out its spare renovated and unrenovated houses for one dollar per week, to families committed to making a difference while schooling their children locally.

    With a local gallery nearby it may suit an artist
    You need to be a bit handy too.

    May not be taking applications until Jan?; although the website lists one home for rent.

    Re: Rent One dollar per week. Families wanted

    I don't think you need to wait until Jan. I couldn't see the reference there MA. I was speaking to the coordinator of the program a few weeks ago and she mentioned that there was still a house available for $1 per week.

    If interested, I'd get in touch straight away. Nice school for the kids too. Good general teaching and great veggie garden on the school grounds.

    Thanks newcroft
    I thought I saw their was still a house left. It looks fine- quite good condition ---i would have thought --and plenty of room for a garden.

    They will be taking applications for Jan -- June next year (Jan?) the site says.

    I think that the house was a late addition to their Dollar Houses program, and so the June reference was for 2009. So I'm pretty sure they are looking for suitable families now.

    But, I'll check it out just for the record.

    BTW, had lunch today with someone who grew up in one of the houses listed.
