Are you sick of the mainland and fancy a change to the country life? Well, two of Australia's oldest mansions, both with a convict past, are up for sale — but the prices being asked are anything but a steal.
"We came down here in the early 2000s… just on a holiday. We drove to the Derwent Valley and we thought 'this is as beautiful as anything we've seen anywhere in the world,'" Ms Grimley said."We saw Woodbridge… looking very forlorn and dilapidated and we were saddened by that.
"I said, 'I don't know but I'll never get the chance at an 1825 riverfront restoration again in my lifetime.'"With past experience in building restoration, it took the Grimleys a team of local craftsmen, their trusted plumber from Western Australia and a German engineer who'd worked on castles, two years to fully repair Woodbridge to its former glory.
