Big things' in Australia - vpro Metropolis
Some Australians have taken up the habit of building 'big things' on the side of the road or in their yard, mostly to attract tourists. Enthusiasts Jen and Niall have been visiting these absurd constructions for almost thirty years. Today, they cross 'the worm' and 'the koala' off their list.
vpro Metropolis was a video project by Dutch broadcast organisation vpro, that ran from 2008 to 2015. Metropolis is made by a global collective of young filmmakers and TV producers, reporting on remarkable stories from their own country/city. We made a trip around the globe on one single issue: from local beauty ideals to Elvis impersonators, to what's it like being gay, or an outcast or a dog in different cultures.

A rare opportunity to secure the lot; two strata title villas in a popular East Ballina location.

The owner of these lowset, freestanding villa homes has kept maintenance up to date and further updated unit 2 over the years. The properties both offering potential for future improvement and growth makes a good addition or starter for your investment portfolio.
The flexibility of these properties is vast, demand is high and properties of this sort & location very rarely become available.
Both standalone units feature two bedrooms, good size lounge, open kitchen & dining, full size bathroom and single garage.
