Couple who bought a decrepit French Château for $500k reveal the major lessons
Crumbling labour of love: Couple who bought a decrepit French Château for $500k after seeing just FOUR of its 94 rooms reveal the major lessons they've learned while renovating a 300-year-old monument
When Karina and Craig Waters bought the sprawling Château de Gudanes in Verdun, in the south of France in 2013, they had seen just four of its 91 rooms - and had no idea of the scale of the project they had taken on. Almost five years later the couple, from Perth in Western Australia, have published a book about their labour of love journey restoring the vast 18th century property in the Occitanie region, which they paid an estimated AUD$500,000 (£281,600) for. Mrs Waters opened up to FEMAIL about the lessons she and her partner have learned while turning the crumbling château into a working hotel.

TRAVEL AUSTRALIA 6 BAY OF FIRES
The Bay of Fireswas a great place with lots of free camping, clear turquoise waters and great fishing, we stayed here at cosy corner north camping ground from the 17th of Dec 2011 until the 23 Jan 2012.
This is one of the best places in Tasmania for camping and you can stay here for up to 4 weeks free of charge. The local town has a winter population of about 3800 which grows to about 17000 in summer so the town flourishes on the tourist dollar.There is talk about charging for camping so it will be interesting to see how this effects the local economy. Some of the footage was taken with a HTC phone and also a GOPRO hero2.There is a stack of birdlife and i have included most of what we saw as still photos at the end, i saw a wombat actually we had a sort of race together side by side down the road whilst on my motorbike.

I’ve eaten In-N-Out Burger before and I’ve eaten Five Guys before… but this was my first time to ever eat them back to back. In this video I’m taking you on a full burger review comparison between In-N-Out and Five Guys, two burger chains with extremely loyal followings.
In-N-Out Burger
I ordered the Double Double and extra crispy fries. Now to keep things consistent for the review, I couldn’t go all crazy with their secret menu of toppings, so all I ordered was extra onions.
Prices - Double Double - $3.85, Extra crispy fries - $1.80
The Double Double from In-N-Out is indeed extremely tasty and salty and it has an amazing balance of tastes and everything goes together in such harmony. However, after finishing the Double Double I walked away still quite hungry.
Five Guys
Next we drove over to Five Guys, luckily just a 5 minute drive from In-N-Out Burger. Again, I kept it pretty simple and just ordered their cheeseburger all the way, and a side of regular fries. You’ll notice immediately that the prices are twice as high as In-N-Out, however, we’ll find out that their burger weight probably twice as much as well.
Prices - Cheeseburger - $7.99, Fries - $4.29
The Five Guys Cheeseburger is heavy and dense, and they already press down the bun for you, so it’s not fluffy at all. The ingredients inside are great, and I especially enjoyed the mushrooms inside. The burger is definitely not as salty as In-N-Out, however it tastes better quality.
VERDICT:
It sort of depends on what mood you’re in, and you do have to take into account that Five Guys is twice as expensive as In-N-Out - so you could eat two Double Doubles for the same price as one Five Guys cheeseburger.
I think the In-N-Out Double Double is tastier, possibly because it’s saltier, but the Five Guys burger tastes fresher, more natural, and a little more home-cooked styles. Overall, I would choose Five Guys more often than In-N-Out Burger. That’s my final verdict.
What about you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

TRAVEL AUSTRALIA 14 HIKE TO THE FAR SOUTH OF TASMANIA
Tasmania is Australia's island state, and its southernmost state.
It is home to the Tasmanian devil, the largest carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid).
It used to be home to an even larger dasyurid, the Thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger.
The length of Tasmania's coastline is 2833 km, plus another 2049 km of smaller island coastlines.
The highest mountain in Tasmania is Mt Ossa, at 1617 m high.
Most of Tasmania is wilderness.
Tasmania's rainforest is cool temperate rainforest, and contains some of Australia's most ancient plant life.
Tasmania was originally home to one of Australia's most notoriously cruel convict prisons, Port Arthur.
Tasmania is an Australian island and state. It is 240 kilometres (150 mi) south of the continent, separated by Bass Strait. The state includes the island of Tasmania - the 26th largest island in the world - and the surrounding islands. The state has a population of 500,000 calculated by headcount (as of December 2008), of whom almost half reside in the greater Hobart precinct. Tasmania's area is 68,401 square kilometres (26,410 sq mi), of which the main island covers 62,409 square kilometres (24,096 sq mi).[7]
Tasmania is promoted as the natural state, the island of inspiration,[8] and A World Apart, Not A World Away owing to its large and relatively unspoiled natural environment. Almost 37% of Tasmania lies in reserves, national parks and World Heritage Sites.[9] The island is 364 kilometres (226 mi) long from its northernmost to its southernmost points, and 306 kilometres (190 mi) from west to east.
The state capital and largest city is Hobart, which encompasses the local government areas of City of Hobart, City of Glenorchy, and City of Clarence, while the satellite town of Kingston (part of the Municipality of Kingborough) is generally included in the Greater Hobart area. Other major population centres include Launceston in the north and Devonport and Burnie in the northwest. The subantarctic Macquarie Island is also under the administration of the state, as part of the Huon Valley Council local government area.
Etymology
The state is named after Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who made the first reported European sighting of the island on 24 November 1642. Tasman named the island Anthony van Diemen's Land after his sponsor Anthony van Diemen, the Governor of the Dutch East Indies. The name was later shortened to Van Diemen's Land by the British. It was officially renamed Tasmania in honour of its first European discoverer on 1 January 1856.[10] Tasmania was sometimes referred to as Dervon, as mentioned in The Jerilderie Letter written by the notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly in 1879. The colloquial expression for the state is Tassie. This name is often used in advertising campaigns, for example by the Bass Strait ferry, Spirit of Tasmania.[11]

Our trip down Norfolk Road thanks to WIKI Camps.
This video shows what was meant to be a short travel day that didnt go to plan. We ened up travelling for 9 1/2 hrs ( which included a lunch stop and a few stunning lookout spots which we couldnt resist.) But during that time we only travelled 265 km lol.
The two free camp spots (on wiki camps as big rig/ bus) we had decided to try didnt pan out so we ended up driving the Norfolk Road (good gravel) to Savage River which was 105kms. The drive was done in Feb 2018 and the conditions were good.
