Really enjoyed this. Ty. Dad has lived in the Ridge since the mid 1990’s. He’s rented a few camps, lived in town at one point then bought a camp around 2000 (I think). Completely off grid (plus a landline phone). Water tanks, solar and a generator. The camp runs 12v and 240v off the inverter. Slow combustion fire, gas cooking and hot water. He had a gas fridge but now runs a 12v upright fridge/freezer. I love visiting the ridge, although summer can suck a bit. Lost count of how many times I’ve been there.

That’s awesome! Summer can definitely be a pain in the backside. There are some great methods available for cooling off-grid dwellings these days but they all come at a cost (usually to the wallet). Thanks so much for the comment. 😁

That's awesome Russell ! Say someone rocked up with thier own accommodation (van) and a Dewalt breaker in hand. Would one be able to get employment at one of the camps on LR, are they looking for helping hand this time of year for a small cut? 🤔 Very keen & passionate about this dream a reality!! 🙏 ❤

@@robertmcmahon4156a 4x4 would be preferable but you can usually get everywhere in a regular vehicle. I’ve driven around a lot in an old ford laser back in the day, including out to the Grawin opal fields before they sealed the road.
