1916th - Stephen shot home the night before to prepare the yard for an open home. Then headed back to Woolgoolga where ahead a storm brews
20Toni, Kirsten and the girls are not using their Woolgoolga apartment in New South Wales, so the guys make the 4 hour drive to have a break from open homes. Soon that wee family head to their (already snowing) Mt Hotham pad. The kids go to ski school there for a term.
