What a shame. Another resource gone.
Not sure it's a "cult" though. I've had a read through their pages.
Crofters are Australians of any religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist belief.
So it's not a mystical system they're pushing. Some of what they're proposing is actually quite admirable. Check this:
no person is permitted to conceal their identity with clothing, hoods or helmets
No burka allowed. Take it off or p!ss off.
I don't know what the catch is. You can buy a 961 square metre block (about the size of a suburban "quarter acre" block) for $12,100 inc GST plus a monthly maintenance fee of about $60 - about $730 a year. Compare that with a suburban block price and council rates... there's either something fishy going on, or it's a great deal. The ongoing fees pay for toilets, roadworks etc.
It's just a shame that 961 sq m is too small to do a lot of 4WDing on! Then again, you could buy 20 of those blocks (=5 acres) for less than the cost of a (less than) quarter-acre block in Sydney ($242,000 plus $14,600/yr compared to Sydney block, here's one 458 sq m for around $500K plus ongoing council rates) and have a few acres to do some 4WDing on. Join in with a few mates - let's say 10 guys get together and buy 20 adjoining blocks each - that's 50 acres in total. Select a strip that climbs the hill, camps at the top, who cares if they come knocking with their stupid black hats and bibles in hand, they promote the "Australian way of life" - which means you can tell them to p!ss off and knock on someone else's door!
Not sure I'd do it to be honest. Wondering what the "behind the scenes" catch is.
