Home buying and selling are the largest financial transactions most of us make in a lifetime. But there''s more than money involved. Home is where we spend most of our relaxation time - and, during a pandemic, our work time - so it''s a place we need to feel comfortable and at ease. Wrong decisions can affect our financial and personal well-being. 

This book is designed to help anyone to buy, sell or move home, whether a house, unit or flat, with the least possible trauma. It contains information on buying and selling, building and renovating, finance and agents, as well as how to move with family and pets. 

Packed with helpful information, checklists and suggestions, this book is for anyone considering moving home. 

Phil & Kylie Ridden have bought, sold and moved home around 20 times, with their family and sundry pets, with and without the aid of professionals. They''ve learnt a lot along the way.

This is the story of a remarkable pioneer, a Baptist missionary who established churches, and influenced communities, along the Great Southern Railway in Western Australia from 1898-1929. 

William Kennedy was an ordinary man who lived a life of extraordinary influence with his unerring faith and his determination to "find a way or make one". This is the story of a remarkable pioneer Baptist missionary who established churches, and influenced communities, along the Great Southern Railway in Western Australia from 1898-1929. 

Although his name is immortalised in Kennedy Baptist College, William Kennedy Way in Narrogin, and several other organisations, he could not be considered famous or well known. He spoke out against social evils, including alcohol, and yet even publicans respected him and supported his causes. Publican, pioneer and mayor of Narrogin, Michael Brown, said that ''Me and Mr Kennedy built Narrogin". Kennedy had such a gift for water locating (or divining), that the WA Government gave him a first-class rail pass to travel throughout the southern half of the state to find water for remote farmers and communities - even though Kennedy claimed he had no idea how he did it. 

He and his wife lived a life of poverty and sacrifice, struggling with health issues on numerous occasions. Why? Because of a love for Jesus Christ, to whom he gave his entire life without reserve. 

Brownie is an unusual chicken, who dances, sings, tries to fly over the fence and yearns for adventure. Her unusual antics make her a star. But then it all goes wrong. How will she sort out her life?

If you''ve ever felt different from other kids, you''ll love Brownie.
