And a little extreme even for the most frugal of us! Christa have you read about MOs (multiple occupany)? Great idea but also many challenges..... There are lots of communities like this in the Northern Rivers region of NSW so you could perhaps visit one if you are going on the Daleys trip.

Now that is tiny. Trying to figure out where the loo is! I would need some outdoor cover area to go with it - or that meeting house you talk of Christa.

Convincing the council to have a multiple dwelling on a suburban or even a semi-rural block will be the challenge.

Found this on a website, wouldn't it be great if we could be satisfied with this single living tiny A- frame.  You could build a little community of tiny houses with a larger meeting house. So many positives, using a combined garden, sharing water and power etc.  Though there are negatives, everyone would have to get used to me in my pyjamas for a couple of hours in the morning.

We're all impressed with the photos of the Blackbutt house Christine. Looks like it's all decorated and liveable these days.

I live this idea. It's not easy but it cuts out a lot of the expenses that are daily living in the city. But it does add others.

We have an off the grid house in Blackbutt, we are fortunate to have a well, as well as tanks. We are not connected to any council extravagances. The sewerage is a worm compost, the house was built from local timber milled on the block. Most of the contents are recycled from gumtree or eBay. All constructed by Glen my husband.

Not necessarily small ...but recycled, local and 'found' builds.
