Ambitious plan! I hope you have Internet connectivity there, unless you're trying to get away from the Internet ;)

Yeah. There's a ton to do. We don't have internet access yet, but I'm told it's do-able with a satellite dish. There is actually a Canadian with a really nice place, big orchard, maybe a mile up the hill from the village. I ran into him at a big hoedown this spring and he said he has it. It'll probably be slow, but...

Good :) So long as you can get through...

Actually, the Internet - particularly reasonably high-speed Internet - is a real game-changer for the outback. Pre-Internet, all you had were the countryside and physical books; it was easy to become isolated.

Not any more.

Ironically, urbanization is still increasing. Not that it's deplorable, as it keeps outback land cheap. ;)
