Firstly, Pauly, thank you for starting this extremely important thread.
Mrs Baggers and I are looking to move (again), very soon. Ponsing up the house to sell -- going like hotcakes on the Island at present -- getting a half acre block (approx) hour to hour and a half east through to northwest of the city and building a very small home (not quite one of the tiny / container homes phenomena - but close) and aiming for self-sufficiency in most respects - grow our own veggies (been doing that for years), electricity, water capture and so on. I'd have to go to a butcher for meat as I couldn't grow and slaughter an animal. I had the very good fortune a few years ago to bump into Paul West in Tilba whilst on holiday and we had a great chat about self-sufficiency. Terrific bloke.
