What about a yacht?

After a night camped in the back yard, the house at Bicheno has been ruled out. There are "smokey" houses nearby and we're not keen on the treated pine that has been used in and around the building. Also, looking closely at the photos, the new smaller trees and what appears to be blackened taller trees suggest that it could also be in a high fire-risk location. News reports from December 2006 confirm the suspicion. Plans change as plans often do and this shed in St Mary's has potential. It could be used as a base for Ben and be rented out as storage to generate income. According to the agent, there is a demand for storage in St Mary's and the negotiable price is very reasonable. Ben does however have bigger ideas, he'd like a yacht.

Although... a yacht may not be the best place to be over the next few days. According to the ABC news website:
Tasmanians are being warned to brace for some wet and wild weather in coming days... A series of cold fronts will cross the state bringing snow to low levels as well as thunderstorms, strong wind gusts and significant rain to the north and west... The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a gale wind warning for the far north-west, the central north coast, the upper east coast and central west coast...
