Refreshing this thread, because our dream is closer to reality. We have listed our house to sell, and will move with great relief. So.....hopefully in a few months we won't be living here! Houses in our part of Sydney are selling very quickly - goodness knows why because it's a bit daggy, but it's fairly central to a lot of other parts of Sydney - then we will have less traffic and a nicer outlook. We would really love to live on a few acres way out of town (the result of inconsiderate neighbours over the last several years here) but are realistic enough to know that we have left it a bit late. My inner hermit will have to be satisfied by being in a smaller town.

Cheers
