The house though was completely intact and the restoration they undertook was superb. Carpets and upholstery from France, walls clad in contemporary art and rooms furnished with colonial cedar and other goodies from a mansion nearby. They sold it close to 15 years ago and currently working on yet another project. The aircraft noise was a killer lolFinnisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18192186656328075382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-23247949863428961782011-08-20T19:32:07.111+10:002011-08-20T19:32:07.111+10:00Julie, one good thing about houses in places like ...Julie, one good thing about houses in places like Rockdale is that they are more affordable, even if the location is not as beautiful.

With a history of European settlement and development of only 223 years in Australia, I can imagine how strange it must sound to people from places where buildings and structures that are hundreds or thousands of years old.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-36016394372673936362011-08-17T02:20:57.214+10:002011-08-17T02:20:57.214+10:00That looks like a very loved house.

Back in the UK this would be a "normal" house - but here its "historic". It makes you change the way you look at things.
