The 89 Quinlivan RD, Pooraka -ownership, auctioned by Damian Macolino, sold for $ 1,265 million, after attracting a huge 29 registered bidders.

“You can develop it in the future, so it attracted much of the interest of developers, and the other half consisted of predominantly buyers of Indian and Afghan backgrounds,” he said.

“They just wanted a big house and this was a house with five bedrooms that could be converted into four with a large room from the back.
“In the end it went to a local who lives on the road and I think he just bought it to secure a home for his children – he has two boys who probably have something to say about what happens with it in the next five to ten years and they can do something with it. Who knows?”
Mr. Tropepe said that both the buyer and the seller were in the clouds.
“It’s a great result for both.”

Mr Burgess, 86 paid 100 pounds for the country at the age of 14 in 1953, and he and his wife Rosemary, 87, built a house in 1964.
“When we came here, it was just unpaved roads, but a lot has happened since then,” said Mr Burgess.
