Off I go again to the lovely snow fields of Adaminaby, close to Cooma, Berridale and an hour and a half through the mountains to Tumut. Adaminaby is known by thousands of ski enthusiasts all over he world for the big trout statue in the town centre. It’s a small village filled with friendly people. I have 3 businesses for sale listed here…

• BP garage and freehold
• a top lodge motel in the heart of town
• a café come restaurant and a 3 bedroom home

The motel is a cheaper style of lodging, great for skiers, trout fishermen and tourists who want CBD Lodging that’s affordable. You won’t believe the prices of these properties and businessess… too good to overlook! Then I am back home till my next adventure. See you soon!

Off I go again to my favourite sea-side resort area and most popular listing area in Australia where once again I have sold over 14 businesss in the past 2 years. It’s the best ever for enquiries because it’s only one and a half hours from Sydney. The marina is spectacular, the solicitors, accountants and people are so profesional and helpful. One to refer is Steven Parrot in the heart of Nelson Bay… top solicitor and very helpful.

If you are looking for a top adventure on the water call Steve Garland. He owns Home Cruiser Port Stephens and is on the marina  at the end of the first wharf. What a life he has… cruising around with charters for groups wanting a relaxed, personal day out.

While I was strolling down the wharf I met up with Steve and while talking to him there was a little dolphin playing in the water. Gosh, I just loved it. Maybe I will have a boat as my office in Nelson Bay… that’s a thought I might want to consider. But I do get sea sick! I have just sold Incredible Edible for the second time here so if you’re in the bay drop in and see Wayne and Sue. Tell them I sent you and I am sure they will give you a great feed, it’s in the heart of town.

Also if you’re into pasta one of my top businesses for sale in Port Stephens is Michells Paster In Shoal Bay. A great little takeaway or dine in experience.

The rich, beautiful Riverina…

Off I go again!  Well spring time and the blossoms are all out and looking just great in our country areas. Have you been to Wagga Wagga?  It’s our largest inland city in NSW and has an amazing shopping area with about three main streets. My dear little daughter in-law owns a florist shop there called Australian Art Florist on Baylis street. They send flowers all round the globe so when you want a top gift and flowers call Jackie and Kelly, they are the friendliest people and do an awesome arrangement and make a fortune out of me when I sell a business! Gotta keep it in the family!

Wagga  is also noted for it’s races. My race horse Raw Diva runs the track and it’s a great day out with a terrific member’s bar and food. Horse heaven, that’s what Wagga and the surrounding districts offer… cutting horses, racing, pony clubs and Wagga’s Equex shows off it’s performing horses of all breeds, so come to the rich Riverina, its only 5 hours from Sydney, 2 from Canberra and 5 to Melbourne.

I also have some pretty good businesses listed right now. There’s a top little bowls shop for sale right near Australian Art Florist. It’s a good little money spinner with no hard work involved. It’s great for a single lady or man. There’s also a pelmet manufacturing business for sale. This business can be run in Sydney or anywhere. Pick it up and take it home. As a home industry it’s great. And a terrific bakery for sale in Tumut (wholesale and retail), a great money spinner with huge profits .

Indoor Play Centre Riverina

Now listen to this one… I had the pleasure of listing an icon indoor child play centre in Wagga on the main highway into town. It’s the Noah’s Ark. Gee I was impressed with this owner! It’s a great big ark made of timber and looks exactly like Noah’s Ark.

Noah would be so proud of his replica! And kids everywhere love it. My grand kids just wet their pants to get in there, and I just love the cafe, sitting back with the sun beaming in watching the kids have a ball! So if you’re in Wagga don’t go past it.

Go in, you will love it. How smart are these people? I admire their brilliance. They own the property too. It’s on the market with us also and I reckon a bowling centre or skateway would look great behind the Ark. There is lots of space to expand.

The owners have a TOP farm and want to retire, so I have the pleasure of selling it.

My beautiful town of Poplars Tumut… this is noted as God’s own country, located at the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, and yes this is where I live… that’s when I am ever home. Most of my days I am on the road with buyers looking at businessess for sale all over Australia, but when I get the chance I come home to heaven.

The beauty here is like no other. If you haven’t been to Tumut you have missed a lifetime experience. I have sold over 15 businesses here and only have a few more listed… a great fish and chips cafe with indoor seating that has won awards for its gluten free food. A great buy. 

I also have a top bricks and pavers business for sale that also has hire equipement and freehold included if you want. Too good to overlook, a top cafe in the heart of the CBD that caters for hungry customers with all week trading. It’s a great buy. Also, the most profitable business in Tumut is my earth moving business… it’s the best listing I have for profits in Australia, so if you want the money and have it to spend…

Properties in Tumut. I have the most picturesque home with sweeping views across the mountains, river and planes on 7 beautiful, magnificent acres. Check out this Tumut property on 160 acres and this rural property for sale in Tumut on 300 acres. I have at least 3 properties to look at, all with excellent views and pastures…so cheap, so good.

There is something about Tasmania… it’s so tranquil and lovely down there. They say it’s just like the mainland but I disagree. It’s a different experience in Tassie, I love it!

Took the ship across to list a bakery in Launceston. What a lovely place that is… great people and so polite on the road. It would do the NSW drivers good to be so courteous… and what a great bakery, patisserie and health food shop!

If you’re looking for the best returns and a terrific lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle then check out this listing in Tasmania and come on down.

Well I have been everywhere the last few months, running around with buyers from state to state. Some successful, some not so. On one of my trips down the coast I was taking a short break in a park when a man pushing a baby called ”is that your car ’cause it’s just been broken into”. That’s right, the brazen robbers had followed me, smashed my window and robbed me blind.

As the story goes… poor buggars, it’s hard for them isn’t it? I pay for them all my life in my 46 cents in the dollar and then I pay for them some more. That makes the 4th time in one year for me.

Well after a week of rebuilding the Subaru and cancelling credit cards I moved on to a top Sydney listing on the South side. On the water there was a magnificent SCUBA diving business and dive school. Gee, the owners need medals for their dedication to this great icon in Australia. Mike Whitney and Koshie from the morning show dive with these people on a regular basis and endorse it wherever they go. It’s seen on all the getaway shows and now I have the pleasure of selling it. So listen… you want a top adventure business, totally established and known world wide check out the listing on Best Business Buys or give me a call.

On the funny side of the car robbery is when the glass broke all over my seat it jammed up my seat belt and I got stuck in the damn thing. I just couldn’t get to a mechanic in time to fix it, so there I was with my darling little grandchildren aged 7 and 5 in the car and Grandma is caught in the seat belt. If you know anything about the stress of Menopause you will know what a dreadful hot flush is like, particularly when you realise you are stuck and can not get out.

So there I am pulling on the seat belt and having a hot flush and my darling Blair says “Grandma, what will we do?”. I said to them “run into that furniture store and tell the lady Grandma’s stuck in the seat belt”. So in they go… shop full of people of course… “excuse me lady, but my Grandma’s stuck in the car!”

And you guessed it, out comes the whole town to have a look. Everyone’s doing their best to get poor old Grandma out and the looks on my grand kid’s faces were priceless. Chelsea says “Grandma, you’re old now, do you think you will die soon!” God love em!

For the next week I had service station attendants looking at me in despair as I rapped on my window for them to come out and release me from that damn seat belt until I finally got the thing fixed and off again on another mission.
