A backyard waterfall and your own environmentally friendly shaping room…
If you wanna buy real estate, pick a beach you wanna surf and buy as big a hunk of dirt as close to it as you can. Prices will dip, spike, and they’ll plateau, but over the years it’ll turn into a bankroll that’ll get you through your harvest years.
Lifestyle and cash? Who knew it was that easy.
Wayne Lynch, the child prodigy of the sixties whose backside jams in the movie Evolution were roughly 12 years ahead of the rest of the world, bought four-and-a-half hectares on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, sold it for a little under four-mill five years ago and moved to a beach-mountain hideaway just behind Byron Bay.
Now that prime piece of fine dirt with a nearby waterfall that’ll hold you spellbound for many hours or provide a scenic backdrop for self-portraits is for sale for a little under three-million Australian dollars.
Two hundred and thirty-one Frasers Road, Mullumbimby even comes with its own shaping room.
Put on your raincoat, the real-estate spiel is about to rain down.
Diverse topography, rolling green slopes, lush rainforest with old growth trees backing onto a National Park. Two permanent drought proof spring fed dams, plus generous creekfront.
The comfortable ranch style home offers an easy living floor plan flowing out to covered outdoor areas. Relax and soak in the ambience of this unique place. Take a dip in the inground saltwater pool to keep cool on those hot summer days and enjoy the captivating views.
Spacious open plan kitchen and dining, plus two light filled living areas, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Away from the home with its own access is the working hub of three fantastic sheds boasting 5KVA of high quality solar power. The Australian Hall of Fame Inductee owner and world champion surfer has designed and created an environment friendly shaping room for producing his sought after unique custom made surfboards. Its an inspiring and tranquil work setting.
The perfect spot to observe the weather, build some cabins, (STCA), improve the acre (approx) of permaculture garden or if you have a helicopter, theres room for a helipad! The options are endless.
Within 15 minutes from the colourful and relaxed town of Mullumbimby and less than ½ hour from the beaches of Byron Shire. Gold Coast airport is only 52 mins away.
Rah rah rah
Oh wait, that’s a cocky
Fugazi!
How can they call it beach when its at least a hour drive inland and is that a mountain or a very large speed bump in the background?
Fuck Australians are dumb.
25 grand u.s…that’s almost 3 mill Aussie
you can sell byron but please dont sell mullum
It’s not even skateable!
What a waste of a hole in the ground.
“Environmentally friendly shaping room” is an oxy-moron on the same level as “Vegan Bondage Provcateur”, what, if not leather?
“Like surfing a black Beauty.”
Roflmao
Good one AG !
A fascinating experience for out of towners.
Trust me on this one, or not.
Of course it might not be your cup of tea but hey ….
Some millionaire VAL will be down mowing out a bunch of mid lengths haha.
We should hunt down his Insta
Oh god it’ll be ELO!!!
The world would never hear the end of it if that cunt shaped a board.
He may bust out his own version of the black beauty , The OPra ….. for lovers of volume and volumes ?
Includes inbuilt waterproof speaker playing positive affirmations!
EDIT: changed I to In as sentence made no sense with In as I. I shamefully, have never built a waterproof speaker. Maybe I need a round of positive talking shit.
More Tall Speaker than Paul Speaker ?
Graffiti style – yes
Make Boards. Like Wayne!
I’m with you on that, the pool fence is rank. For 3+ mill, you’d like a pool that doesn’t look like it belongs in a wheatbelt motel courtyard.
I’d keep it just for the dog and dig another one.
Backed up against a National Park is the best.
He will probably enjoy the cruise if he can sell in time.
That’s a long walk to the beach.
And so much maintenance.
It’s like the house owns you.
Fuk that.
Gimme a stacked box on the beach all day every day.
40 min drive, and yep, hope you like industrial strength brush cutting.
v.nice spread though.
The two-stroke use alone would negate the solar panels!
Don’t tell me Hayden
And Wayne are both selling up
To make Kombucha
They’re probably both fucken sick of living in the hills where the flutterby cult fuckwits pester them with healing crystals. Dumb cunts don’t realise that bikies are cooking those crystals in public dunnies mate.
That house will be lucky to still be standing after this summer if we don’t get any rain here. Post some recent photos and it will look like a burnt out field, not a tranquil rainforest
Welcome to the rest of Australia’s future, at least as long as we’re still a species on the planet. Aboriginals doubly fucked, by settler colonialism, and now their sacred lands burnt out by climate change.
Sorry to rain on your political virtue signalling:
Forest fires are a natural and necessary part of the ecosystem. Even healthy forests contain dead trees and decaying plant matter; when a fire turns them to ashes, nutrients return to the soil instead of remaining captive in old vegetation.
We build in beauty
Then piss and moan when beauty
Does what beauty does
That’s actually beautiful Ed, My cold black heart was moved. Bravo.
We’re not talking about gum-forests in the southeast here, or scrub in the top end, or kangaroo-grass plains in central NSW.
These are old-growth rainforests burning right now. These are places where fires have not occurred in settled history, and places that have never had controlled burns because ordinarily, these rainforests will not fucking burn. It’d usually take Napalm to get these forests cooking the way they are right now.
You’re welcome to debate climate change or write it off as a conspiracy or political posturing, and call this a one-off event if you want to, but you’re completely ignorant if you think that what is happening this year is normal.
When most of us think of Arabia, we think of rolling sand dunes, scorching sun, and precious little water. But in the quite recent past it was a place of rolling grasslands and shady woods, watered by torrential monsoon rains.
Don’t you think of Muslim terrorists…?
Fuken hate those weirdos.
Thanks, Chad. Fucking people’s habitat is on fire and made worse by global warming and they want to say it’s not happening. Insane. And the implication is scary–this is the new normal. California’s largest energy provider is shutting down the grid, it’s too hot and starting fires given the droughts and wind. Think about the implications of that–a key geographic area is basically saying their energy grid is not adapted to a climate changed planet. None of this is within the historical baseline, by definition, as that baseline for hundreds of thousands (millions?) of years peaked at 350ppm CO2. We blew by that years ago and are still climbing.
Don’t let the power companies off the hook so easy. PGE, SDGE, etc have a monopoly on power and are simply being cheap by not building fire safe systems. They are using the same technology as when they started: high voltage lines connected by poles or sometimes underground. Transformer kicks it down to household voltage or fuckin 6000v three phase power for a wave pool. Besides, if they are responsible for fires they can go BK or settle and the rate payers get stuck with the bill. Santa Ana conditions have been here long before any of us.
Thanks Scott, Climate Change is great way to shift blame to nonsense, in the true sense of nonsense.
Yes fire is tragically burning right now. Someone is to blame- usually some fwits or pyros, or a negligent company as you mention.
If you blame climate change you believe in monsters and ghosts etc
As was an atmosphere topped at 350ppm co2. If any of you can explain away 410ppm of today you will literally win a nobel in science. None of this is rocket science. Just bean counting, chemistry, and physics.
That’s still not an excuse to throw in the towel and shut off people’s electricity. My argument isn’t about climate change, it’s about the utilities companies acting like bitches and cutting power instead of developing new technologies to fulfill their monopoly granted obligation to keep it on.
Agree. All of Cal should be solar and tidal. No need for fossil fuels after installing them.
Don’t fall for global warming or climate change propaganda DHMF. It’s opium for the masses, a political agenda pushed down through universities and schools the past 10 years.
If you were part of the generation that was force fed it at school then it might be hard to comprehend, that’s understandable too.
It’s in big businesses interest to make you believe in climate change, instead of their aging, maxed out equipment malfunctioning. You can’t sue climate change…
Universities got me fo believe in unicorns, too. But thank god, not science.
I’d like to get in early on a unicorn!
Fox news can tell you how.
The science guys are now changing their minds about co2
But there probly wrong
Again.
I don’t know about the facts in this precise case geographically, but “in general” Indigenous land management in Australia used small controlled fires to control forest fuel and create cleared grasslands conducive to maintaining kangaroo etc stock.
Where now is impenetrable bush there was, in many or even most parts, rolling grasslands with interspersed thickets of herbage to support micro-ecosystems.
Consequently there were much less ‘hot’ fires, with such devastation to native flora and fauna.
[As you say, though, that is certainly the case in Eucalyptus Forests, maybe not these around Mullimbimby.]
All the focus seems to be on climate change, but I wonder if a lot of blame is on land management, control of fuel levels etc?
In either case, yay for us whiteys fucken it up for everyone!
Well said 🙏
Climate change is a mythical creature. A post modern version of trolls, fairies and centaurs
Yes, now every time I start my car a koala fries, as if I didn’t have enough real sins to feel bad about.
It’s too easy for lazy journalists to roll out anthropomorphic climate change as the bete noir for every environmental disaster. I am not saying it’s not making a contribution to the fires, probably it is, but simplistically blaming climate change for bush fires smacks of political agenda and distracts from what I would suspect is a much more real and potentially manageable culprit, ie land management.*
* disclaimer – no formal training in environmental science, could be talking shit.
I think what the journos are/should be saying is that based on the evidence available, combined with the modelling and predicting of effects, anthropomorphic climate change has increased the opportunities for bushfires to occur. That in combination with government policy to reduce spending on bushfire prevention, (de-funding rural fire brigades for example), contributes to the current situation of threat. The people responsible for controlled burns are the ones who are getting hit with budget constraints. They can only do it under particular circumstances and who do you think complains the most if any ash gets on their verandahs.
If the fact that rainforests are burning is not normal and has never been normal isn’t enough to wake up climate change denialists I don’t know what will.
*Not an expert, but 4 years of Environmental Science/Geography study including natural disaster management.
*is there another kind of talking?
Every time you start your car Elon launches another rocket. We should ride so he can launch more.
I have a friend who is a firefighter who was saying that the conditions were so bad in winter that hazard-reduction burns weren’t really able to be done in a lot of areas.
thank you
Well said.
Sorry to rain on your statement, which totally leaves out that we’re in new planetary regimes based on increased concentrations of CO2 and methane in our atmospheric commons. This means more fires and less rain. This isn’t hard to to understand and all the models about future rainfall patterns and increased temperatures–the perfect recipe for more fires–for Australia are publicly accessible.
That’s all university babble.
Increased Co2 and methane means more FUEL for fires.
Fires are not lit by Co2 and methane.
Fires are lit by pyros, electrical faults and sparks from machinery being used on extremely hot + dry days.
Probably best to nip this in the bud before you end up hurting yourself. Probably not a good idea that you operate heavy machinery, too, based on the evidence of your posts.
See if this gets through:
About 15 years ago, I got yelled at by a young greeny for walking through bush to check the surf. Damaging the plants, environment etc etc.
Now there’s an eco resort made of concrete where I walked.
I copped the bird from an old lady driving a delivery van the other day.
Mate, this stuff is pretty fucking serious shit.
Absolutely, so serious.
It’s a dry, hot long summer. Hasn’t been fires like this in a long time. The country is a tinderbox. Record amounts of residential development into bushland. It’s so serious.
Just don’t let politicians and Greta bullshit us all by blaming climate change. Take responsibility.
It’s a fucking equation. Blind Freddy could solve it-
Dry wood + hot weather + houses close to trees + firebugs = massive bushfires and tragic loss of land and life.
Solution: some dept of the government needs to minimise the risk.
Using keep cups, riding a bike to work or the WSL going carbon neutral won’t stop the fires, nor will it stop developers building into forests.
Neither will blaming a mythical creature called Climate Change.
How about a 5,10&20 year fire management plan for Australia and Cali?
If I bought Wayne’s house based on the pictures above, I would EXPECT that its going to burn in the event of a bushfire.
If you don’t like that risk, buy a house in suburbia. Why do you reckon Wayne is selling?
Accelerated climate change is very real and flora and fauna cannot evolve to adapt quickly enough. You disagree with 97 percent of climate scientists? Perhaps if the Liberal Govt stopped cutting absolutely everything and selling us all out for fucking nothing we’d stand a chance.
I believe we are irrelevant in the grand scheme of the universe. This planet has been frozen and scorched a hundred times over, and we’re just here for this blip of it.
If these plants can’t adapt as you say, then new plants will grow that can. Plants breathe Co2 remember…
Who funds 97% of those so called climate scientists? How come there weren’t any climate scientists ten years ago?
The govt and big business are all just in it to line their own pockets.
Hence when they all join together and preach ‘climate change’ my bullshit meter goes off.
Actually, there is full consensus. The remaining 3% of studies made no claim for or against.
Yay 97 percent confirm our inevitable demise.
Care factor is zero.
harsh but fair
You can’t argue with these doomsday cultists using facts and logic.
Just verbally abuse them
That’s all they know.
Ooossss.
Why you gotta be so hard on us humans.
We didn’t ask for any of this existence.
Leave us alone ya bully.
Didn’t realize you were such a snowflake, Bexy. First wave of the next set is on me.
I’m quite sensitive.
Perhaps you are more of A Sensitive, you know, to paranormal activity?
Perhaps the militant treefukers should stop lighting fires.
Put that in your bong and smoke it.
probably already had to be evacuated a few times from the Mt Nardi fire, or very close to it.
