Australia's tallest rural residence.
Has two roads leading up to it with many light poles, so much so that at night it seems like there's a small city.
This is based in a quite low density rural area. Numerous tales and rumour about the eccentric owner fly about the surrounding community.

  • One of the rumours is that the owner is afraid of the dark, and having broken down on the road to his house and walking home in the dark, subsequently put in street lights for the number of kilometres to his house. Nice.
  • I spoke to a local today. The home was built by a man who madenlots of money in petroleum and land subdivisons. He was apparently trying to out-do his succesful brother when he built this. He is now not so well off and has recently sold it for a fraction of its cost to build to a succesful business man from Singleton.
