• The nicest sound is the lawnmower• The area of our house is similar to our old
house• We understood there was a long waiting
period when we signed up…and here we are in Canberra
• When you reach the point of time where everything is a bit beyond you this is a great option
• We have our immediate family and friends nearby but this is like an extended family
