hello there My partner and i are moving to north nsw in the next 6/8 weeks to rent a house/land for 1 year,as we are looking to buy land in the near future (3/5acres). If anyone has any land or infomation please get in touch we would love to meet you or hear from you. There are two communities we have found which have been very intresting but we would love our own inderpendent land to start a permaculture project. Any local knowlegde would be appreciated kind regards knighter
It can be tricky its expensive in nthn NSW im not sure why because theres no jobs! you should def get to know the area before committing there are so many subcultures, subregions and vagaries of climate and soil ive lived in a few if i was going to do the permaculture thing over again down there id choose somewhere near Kyogle or Casino closer to the coast has some more rainfall, barely but is very expensive and the soils are very bad, hard on the hills, swamp in the gully, or that red basaltic soil that looks great but if you dont get rain every 2 weeks youre in a drought! Casino and kyogle have richer alluvial soils IME. Kyogle is more frosty, because its affceted by the valleys while casino is more open plains, with a maritime influence spreading inland that means they get hardly any frost you can grow things like mangos in the casino area well thats if i wanted to develop a property but if i just wanted to rent and have a lifetsyle id stick closer to Byron, mullumbimby, Uki or the channon youll def need some money though! anyway thats my 2cents enjoy
google 'cheap land NSW' i recall a website where there was plenty of real estate including 2 or 3 acres smack in the middle of a small town opposite the general store, for $15k, town wasn't to small either, it had a hospital from memory, a perennial creek on one side with wetlands, also an airstrip, pop. of about 500 i think, i would've taken it myself but my family is not ready for such a move yet. hope you find something.
Thanks mate Thanks mate, yeah i've checked a few web site which is great, i was just seeing if there were any permie's who where willing to sell or new someone willing. thanks agian
Cheers for the insight, yeah we've stayed on a couple of permie places and dug around a bit for 6 months we are going to rent a house for a year in uki so we can have a proper dig around we were offerd land in kyogle and that is top of our list at the moment but as like most people were not rushing into anything. i'm a carpenter/cabint maker/painter do you think i'll struggle finding work in north nsw? thanks again

Thanks Andrew For your reply but unfortunately its a bit to far away from marwillumbah and tweed, you see my girlfriend is a midwife and she will be looking to work around that area as well as mullum and lismore. thanks again. Ian and Tina
NNSW is renowned for poor employment opportunities esp inland but you seem skilled at least most industry i saw in NNSW was near alstonville and ballina though lucky your mrs is in a good proffession Lismore base hospital has several midwives and might need more or else maybe work in murwillumbah casino maternity ward is hopless, might as well not exist
