Hi JulieAnn. Ours has been fine, no further rusting. I think if you used something abrasive like wire wool it might but the aluminium foil doesn't seem to have any adverse effect.

@@robandalicruisetravel ok thank you, I was curious! I think also your dishwasher has better quality stainless steel.

Well, in my experience, this will scratch the steel and yes, it will make it rust more

Facts it will mess up even more

To be honest we don't really know. They were here when we bought the house and we aren't really gardeners. Sorry.

We love living here.

I think you're probably right Ronda.

Hi Colin. Thanks for the tip, we'll try that.

Hi Tracey. We have no problem with the wet room but we don't really use the shower, tend to use camp sites with facilities and use those instead. Also, we have the rubber mats on the floor which helps. It really is a great little caravan and so easy to tow.

Hi and thanks for the comment. We love this place too and were supposed to be going for Christmas and New Year again for 22/23 but had a change of plans. Will be back there this year sometime though to see the new pool and swim up bar.

Hi Graham. Thanks for dropping by and for the comments. We have been here 8 years now and it is such a nice place to live. Unless things change we have every intention of making this our retirement home.

Hi Crescendo. Thanks for dropping by and for leaving a comment. Sorry for the delay in replying, go hit by the dreaded flu and COVID. We bought it in 2013 and at that time it cost AUD$35,000. I think this was one of the last Musketeers t come into Australia as I haven't seen them for sale since but Swift caravans went up in price quite a bit shortly after we bought ours.

Hi Zhang. Thanks for the comment and apologies for the delay in replying. It's about 2.2km round the lake. We really like Forest Lake as a place to live, it's reasonably close to the City yet has it's own relaxing feel. If there's anything you would like to know just ask and I'll try to help. Robert

Hi , i am also interested in buying a house in forest lake but there is lot of rumours that its not very safe and alot of drugs and other stuff is too much over there . Since you are a resident can you plz guide me a little . Thank you

Thank you Joe.

Thanks for the comment. We haven't done much for a little while as we've been working on other things but have some footage to edit and put up. If you're interested in Queensland stuff have a look at our other channel Rob and Ali's Big Days Out. Take care. Robert

Hi Ankit. Thanks for the comment. The pavers are 400mm X 400mm. 4 of them work really well whilst the umbrella is horizontal but struggle a bit it it's at an angle and the wind gets under it. Might end up having to double up on the pavers for a bit more weight.

@@quriouskoala4651 Thank you, that's really helpful 🙂

Thanks and Happy New Year, glad you enjoyed it. If you're interested in other areas around Brisbane and SE Qld we have another channel - Rob and Ali's Big Days Out - where we visit places and events. Take Care.

Thanks for your comment. We love it here also and have no plans to move. Take care.

Hi Valerie. Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure. I'll have a look over the weekend and let you know. Robert

@@quriouskoala4651 thanks!

I asked coolaroo customer service and he replied “I THINK it’s supposed to be like that” not very reassuring…

Hi Valerie. I have checked and none of the poles on the umbrella seem to be deliberately angled. The upright could be a little off straight up but then again it could be that it's not sitting on the ground too flat. Robert

Can I private message you a pic?? We put it all together again tonight and it just seems off.

Hi Luis. Thanks for the feedback. As to your question, I'm sorry but I can't really say as we do not live on that side of Forest Lake. Given the proximity to the motorway I would think there would be a little noise. I guess it's like a lot of places where there is a constant noise though and you get used to it so that you don't notice it as much. Also, consider that the shooting range is not too far away so there could be some noise from that. If you are on Facebook I would suggest that you join the 'Forest Lake Community Space (Australia)' page and put a post on there. I'm sure there will be people who live around that area who will be able to answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help more but I think the Facebook page will be able to. Robert.

Thanks for the comment. I have a video of cycling round the lake that I'll put up and try to do one of the shopping centre and restaurants in the next couple of weeks or so. Robert.

Thanks for the comment. It was a lovely day out. Plenty of places to cycle and barbecue around the Brisbane area. Robert.

Thanks for the comment. It is, been down a couple of years now. The turf we have round the back of the house is worn out so we'll need to get it replaced but we can't get the same as the stuff in the video unfortunately. Should have bought enough for the whole area at once. Oh well. Robert

@@quriouskoala4651 sorry. I meant is the brolly in one piece. Apologies about confusion.

Sorry, of course, it's obvious now I read it again. Yeah it is still in one piece. The only downside I've found is that if you tilt it and the wind gets under it then it can blow over quite easily because of the size of the canopy. Fine when it's horizontal though. I have 4 concrete blocks on the base but may put another 4 on to make it a bit more secure. It's a really solid unit and we're very happy with it. We were looking at a fixed gazebo originally then realised that as the sun moved it would come under the gazebo whereas with the umbrella we can adjust it to keep the area in shade longer. Hope that's of help but let me know if there's anything else you want to ask. Robert

@@quriouskoala4651 hi, if you measure with a measuring tape is it actually 4m in width

Really? I'll give it a go. The box said 3m X 4m and it looks rectangular but I never actually measured it. Thanks

Thanks for the comment Cam. Let me know if there's anything else about Forest Lake the you want to know. Robert
