The "Snake Pit" Block

These photos were taken on the block of land we have been looking at to buy.

It is one acre of mostly bush, on a hill, and it is so lovely, with a fantastic outlook. We have been back to this block of land many times over the last year, and it is the one that we have been the most keen on the whole time.

It has dropped in price considerably since we first looked at it, which is great news for us, but the other properties in the subdivision have been selling recently, so it doesn't look like it will last long.

The most exciting thing about this block for the kids, is the "Snake Pit". It is a ditch in the middle of the bush about 5 metres long and 1.5 metres deep. They love playing in and around it, and even built a bridge across it when we were there this week! Apparently it is an old saw pit from when there was a saw mill in the area, and it would have had the big saw blade sitting in it, so that is an interesting piece of history.
