Hi, Aratulla is 80 klms from Bris, bus runs direct to and from 2x a day, the town has all the usual conveniences, A friend of mine John Waters lives there and is making enquiries to the Boonah shire councl and related departments on the developement of the first Living Village project at Aratulla, he has no money to purchase land so he is looking to obtain funding from gov, local shire council and anyone willing to support such a developemnt.
If you think there is shop front that will serve you up what you require in the way of a sustainable lifestyle that suits your wants and needs, with or without a price tag, you may well have a long wait. The way these places get going is through participation, that means making contact with these people and working through the hurdles.
The communities that are successful are formed by people with the passion and commitment to get involved and be a part of the formation. there are many communities that have done that, and many, are more than happy to give out info' on start up, and many will open their doors to help others get the community they want up and running without all the problems they had to endure.
You are well placed to make this happen as many have been before you.
So shut down the tv for 1 hr per day and pick up the phone or internet and make contact, your time will not be wasted.
Apathy is a disease, and positive constructive action is the cure.
Do nothing and nothing will happen.
If you are serious........... do something.
Don't look for excuses, look for oportunities because there has never been a better time to find them.
Take care & be well
