An account of our progress and the challenges of building a self-sufficient home on a little mountain in the Queensland bush.

Living on solid rock....
We have the "privilege" of having the second hardest rock the rock-breaker has ever worked with on our block. Yay us. Wore out his drilling equipment. Excellent. This means the waste/sewerage system Benji wanted to use would cost an extra $50 thousand in earth-moving fees. Fifty grand! So we've had to go with a different system. We'll be using the "Krystal Kleer" (God I hate when companies use dodgy spelling!!!) which Benji tells me is a 6 chamber, 2 zone (aerobic and anaerobic) system which uses an air-blower and so 1 kilowatt hour per day of power, and also chlorine for disinfection - so this is not ideal... but we don't have much choice really. At least we still HAVE a choice.
Look at all that rock...
