Australians build tiny house using YouTube tutorial

An Australian couple with no prior building experience constructed an eight-meter-long tiny house on wheels, relying on YouTube videos. The construction took nine months and cost 130,000 Australian dollars, a fraction of the price of a conventional home in the country. The house includes a veranda, solar panels, and a rainwater collection system. The couple rents land from a farmer, and both Australia and Switzerland have legal hurdles for placing such homes.

Sportsground set for RV and caravan trial

Overnight stays for self-contained recreational vehicles are set to return to a Sunshine Coast sportsground under a six-month trial. Beerwah Sportsground’s short-term camping facility permanently closed in May 2023 after the volunteer-run management committee dissolved. The trial will allow up to 12 sites for motorhomes and caravans equipped with their own toilets, showers and power. A council spokesperson said the trial followed strong support from the local business community, with fees intended to be competitive with similar facilities.
