British designer Kevin McCloud is set to visit Australia next year, and he has singled out this Tasmanian property as a must-see during his trip.

"It has a remarkable history, both appalling and fantastic, of human engagement with the landscape," he said.

"It's one of those places where its history really becomes highly pronounced; as a visitor you feel the strong presence of history there."He had 9,000 trees planted, and spent a decade working on the landscape before the architectural projects began. "It's a testing ground, it's a place we derive great pleasure from, both as a family and as an architectural practice," he said.

Well, maybe consult your former boss Mr Palmer first? JacquiLambie This is a setup. The people of Australia have been blindly led down a one way alley by a corrupt Bureaucracy for the past forty years. And here we are, the white trash of Asia. JacquiLambie And she's right. We are a lacklustre nation led by unworthies who will sell us all out for a few dollars and, being unintelligent as well as unworthy, our leaders have no clue how to deal with the present, much less the future.
