  • Living in a TINY HOME in the Australian countryside. We're living self-sufficient completely off the grid for a weekend in this tiny home. See a tour of the tiny house, the solar panels and gas / water system, exploring the area, and what life's like in our tiny home vlog.
    You may have seen Tiny Home videos on other channels, like A Tiny House in The Forest or a Tiny Home Treehouse so we wanted to explore Living Big in a Tiny House with our own Tiny House Weekend in Australia.
    If you want to stay here as well, the Tiny House is called Wilbur and is located in Tallarook, Victoria. We booked through a company called In2TheWild.

    Stunning place mate. Quick question about council approval as I’m trying to do this and can’t get any for a tiny home. Did your land already have a building entitlement because of it doesn’t have it the expense can add 50k. From what I see people are just doing it anyway by keeping it at “caravan” specs. But then I. Australia you can’t legally live in a van for more than 60 days a year.So I wouldnt be real happy paying 300k for property then 140 for a tiny I can’t live in. But this is our only chance to go rural.

    Hi Stef. I've always loved the views and weather in Australia. Especially as a GA nut. Unfortunately I have a huge amount of arachnophobia and the wildlife of Australia always stopped me visiting. Any advice to do with this (other than just "grow a pair" as that's useless).

    • @StefanDrury
      @StefanDrury  3 года назад

      Honestly I don’t see a lot of spiders in the country here in Australia. But a lot depends on where you go. I find less insects the further south you are. Also if you stick to hotels rather than smaller outdoor options (like a tiny home or camping) you’re less likely to encounter spiders. No phobia is handled by “growing a pair”, we all have things that freak us out. I hope your love of aviation and travel can supercede those feelings for you though. All the best.

    • @glennwatson
