I read recently that the Queensland Trust has sliced up some prime slices of our beautiful state for sale. The Trust buys ecologically important properties and has them declared Nature Refuges under the relevant government legislation and then onsells them.

So fancy an island!! With snorkelling reefs, rocky cliffs and sandy beaches – there is one such island just 100km south of Mackay currently asking about $1.5 million. Or perhaps your own mountain is more appealing – being closer to the city for around $1 million.

It is exciting to open our minds to the possibility of real estate being so much more than ‘bricks and mortar’ and the amazing life style it can provide.
