It’s been more than four years in the planning, but we have finally left Sydney and moved to the Northern Rivers region of NSW, so no more balcony blogs. And after a slightly impatient few months of finding and buying the right place we are now set to move to the town of Uki in a month. Exciting!
The property is largely undeveloped, a mix of mainly subtropical rainforest and some cleared land, and pretty much an empty canvas for us, although the house is great just as it is. 
There’s plenty of planning on paper and screen going on, and we will see how that fits with the block when we are on it. I was able to bring up most of my small plants like orchids, succulents and ornamentals, and they are loving the warmth and humidity already (and the less exposed setting in our rented house). I’ve got my seeds to start the new garden waiting in a box, too, so there will be a fair amount of digging in the first weeks while I get a temporary veggie garden set up. I’ve also started off some pots of a few herbs that I can get growing here while we wait, and they can go in when it’s all laid out and prepared.
