My name is Elizabeth Johnson (45) and along with my partner Craig Kennedy(59) and my 14-year-old son Mason would love to find a house on beautiful Macleay Island. We currently live in my family home at 17 Lane Street, Stanthorpe with my elderly mother, Brenda. We are slowly renovating -my partner mainly -but due to his health can only do it to in short bursts. We plan to either rent it out or sell. We are both receiving pensions. Myself -carers and my partner- disability so paying rent will never be a concern. I've not rented a house in my name since I was 18 years old. I lived in my sisters privately owned home from 1998 to 2004 I toured in a band with myself, my sister and Mason's Dad until 2007 and then moved back into my family home to be with my mother. I had Mason in 2010 and after 10 years rekindled a relationship with Craig when he was 3 years old.. Masons wanting to stay at his school and with his friends largely influenced our decision to stay this long, however now he's older he can see there's very little opportunity for anything other than farming and we all want to give him more to choose from. The unbelievably cold Winters are also really starting to take their toll and despite my mother's desire to stay in the home she made with the love of her life -my dad,David (who died when I was 19) she will eventually be moving up with us- she's just a bit stubborn. I should also mention that despite being a musician, gone are the days of parties and loud music. We now have an appreciation for peace and quiet. We are always friendly with the neighbours and maintaining the property would be our highest priority. We are a very close knit family and are never far from each other. My sister and her partner are also planning to buy a house on Macleay when they sell or rent out their house in Chapel Hill. We already have two cars (one to stay on the mainland) so getting around won't be a hassle and the ferries are so frequent and take such little time that it won't be a problem. It's an experience in its own right really! Taking in the surroundings and not having to drive, what more could we want?? I sincerely hope you consider us for one of your rental homes. You won't regret it. Thank you for taking the time to read this. We can't wait to find our new home! Kind regards Elizabeth.
