Off-Grid Living. It’s not all work and no play.
A good way to end the day. A test run of a kite brought back from a trip to China many, many years ago.

Off-grid Solar DC air conditioner UP and RUNNING
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.21 час назад
The last part of the install for the solar dc air conditioning unit has been completed, tested and enjoyed - although it was late in the very hot day and clouding over so we could only test it for an hour or two. Looking forward to the next sunny day!
Off-grid air conditioner install - 50% done!!

Nearly finished and time is running out! We’ve got a hot weekend coming up with temperatures in the 30’s so add another 10 degrees for inside the train carriage. Thank you for watching.
Off-grid Solar Rack 99% complete
Просмотров 22314 дней назад
The S-rack is ready for the panels. But we need to have the DC split system air conditioner unit in place and ready for connection as the panels shouldn’t be left out without being connected. We need to do a bit of tidying shed duties and reorganising of our ‘utility room’ in the carriage. Stay with us and we will keep you updated on our progress. Thank you.
Is this too big?? Installing the solar panel frame.

The warmer weather means the inside of our train carriage heats up to over 40 degrees Celsius and as we are completely off-grid we are installing a DC aircon and this needs 6 large solar panels. Way bigger than what is currently powering our fridge and other electric devices. This vid shows the start of the installing of the S-rack solar mounting system for the new solar DC split system air con...
Huge storm and several eucalypts and black wattles felled, blocking our access to the river.
Просмотров 73Месяц назад
After a huge storm, at least three large eucalypts fell in three directions, taking down multiple large trees along with them. Completely blocked our ‘mower track’ that took us and a trailer with chairs etc to the river. So much firewood, but most will have to just rot as part of the bush cycle.

Our first planned and completed mid-week day trip. We are planning to do this once a week, where possible, so we don’t waste our retirement doing stupid wasteful chores! They’ll always be there, but we won’t!!! #victoria #warburton #californiaredwood #adatree thealpinehotelwarburton
I really just want banana!!!
Просмотров 2206 месяцев назад
Our bunny Hero just loves banana. He gets a small slice in the morning but wonders why he can’t have it every time he lets you pat him. And the ‘banana treats’ we got him at great expense, are no substitute. #bunnies
Bush bashing on our property
Просмотров 797 месяцев назад
Walked through our bush to the creek and then followed it to the river then along the river to our cleared paddocks. Really need to take a chainsaw and cut a swathe through - every time there’s new trees down making the trek even more difficult. #victoria #australianbush #bushbashing
Swan Lake - it would’ve been better 2 days ago.
Просмотров 377 месяцев назад
The road / track into swan lake has only just opened after DEECA had the area closed off for feral animal control. We had hoped to use the kayaks and look around the lake but it was very windy and the inflatable kayak would’ve filled with water pretty quickly from paddle splashes. It’s a very rough track in a couple of parts - definitely 4x4 vehicle needed. Hopefully we will get another opportu...
An Azure Kingfisher, a pod of dolphins and a fish

A beautiful day at our favourite fishing spot and thanks to the dolphins for herding in the salmon. #australianbush #furnell #victoria #Australian salmon #tamboon
A bit of a debacle sadly
Просмотров 2067 месяцев назад
We really want to get into some overnight hikes and this trip was to test our gear, find out what we didn’t need to take with us and what we did. Our packs were bloody heavy but as I said, that’s what this two night trip was for. We took a drone, GoPro and camera, but we couldn’t charge our phones with the solar charger we took with us so that stopped us using the drone. And the GoPro was accid...
Arrival ahead of our 2 night bush camp adventure.
Просмотров 407 месяцев назад
After a long drive we arrive at the train. I always open the door a little bit fearful as to who might greet me on arrival - and this time was no exception 🕷️ Here is a glimpse of our train house before we unpack only to repack our backpacks for a 2 night stay in the bush. #australianbush #tinyhome #train #victoria
Fingal Track to Gunamatta 4.8km walk

A scenic walk along Fingal Track, meandering through coastal tea-trees with lookouts along the way providing opportunities to view the ocean and coastline. Final leg is along the beach to Gunamatta, which on this occasion was quite calm.

Hitachi Train Carriage renovation - bench seat build
Wow !! Now I have seen everything ! The solar modules setup is amazing. Now ! This is a great solar video . 😊 This railroad 🛤️ car house is an interesting ideal for a durable robust roomier home with a lot of windows and that’s awesome .👏🏽 May the solar be with you .😉🤙
Thank you very much!
Got one of theses brilliant 😊
Great stuff.. me and the missus are looking to do this ourselves!
Highly recommend.
Great job!
Such fun!
Good job! I like this video , no BGM, no other noise.
Thank you! It’s a good simple (relatively) system.
Very nice neat install.
Fantastic. Where abouts is this carriage? I'm doing a video of Hitachi carriages.
We’re in East Gippsland.
Great exc💪💪💪💪use to get the saw out
3 times the saw got pinched. Difficult when we can’t control the pressure of the limb.
Great effect. Where abouts is this carriage?
Please dont share locations on the web. Ive been going in here for 15 years and i fell in love with this place upon discovery. Back then the track was overgrown with tea tree's to a meter and a half tall and i slowly meandered over them in my attempt to see the lake. I used to spend christmas to new year camped alone in there, it was so pristine that i never ever even lit a fire, i never wanted to see traces of human activity. In 2018 dickheads rolled up, i sat in my camp picking my guitar until they finished their fishing and left. They left shelled peanuts and ciggy butts and grog cans behind at the waters edge. Some people go camping but so many are merely just getting out of the city, those types have no respect and understanding. I went up the valley and bought 600acres so i never need put up with those types ever again. You can have your adventures and share them, i get that but please dont include the locations because these locations are in the backyard of the locals, the people who have spent the time exploring for discovery and to send the location out there to the world will only lead to more ungrateful and unsavoury types who wreck the place.
You’re absolutely correct and I’ll be more mindful of this in the future.
This was very peaceful ❤
Nice dolphin shots
Thank you. My daughter takes the credit.
Great darling sister!!! You go girl!! Xxx
Shame about the batteries but you’re going really well and I’m looking forward to your next adventure. Maybe with me ?
Good job
Thanks
Happy to show you around if you’re passing this way
Do you guys do tours ?
