We live in Brisbane, Queensland and Tunbridge, Tasmania. Each week in the Weekend Australian, towards the back of the coloured liftout is ‘homehunt’ – highlighting houses for sale, Australia-wide. Sorry Phillip, but we first turn to this page to find out “where we are going to live this week” . . . mostly its Tasmania (somewhere). Well this week its a house we have visited many times in Ouse belonging to Paul Jones, my first clock mentor who moved to Tasmania proper in 2004 – so excited to see a house we love listed because we also know just how hard it is to get a property on these pages. This is a drawing of Listowel that I played with for a kitchen clock dial for the house, way back.
Where are we going to live this weekend? . . . we ask ourselves every Saturday morning Saturday, Aug 28 2010

Me too, but it’s always in Tasmania for me. The one I most coveted was ‘Shene Stables’ – which you are also acquainted with, I believe.

We were in Qts lounge at brs airport reading this to each other on sat, amazing it belongs to mr jones. Roz & John
So Roz, the picture doesn’t do much for the property actually, the house is poised on a ridge with very old gardens and out buildings, it is just down hill to Hobart also . . .
