Following is an email The Blackwood Times got from a Blackwoodian newbie yesterday…

“We have recently bought ourselves a dream parcel of land in Blackwood and would like to rent a property within the town whilst planning and building our new home because we can’t wait to live there! As there are no properties currently listed we’re wondering if anyone has been considering renting out their weekender property on a more permanent basis? A 12 month lease would be ideal. We’re in our mid thirties, both work and have a cat who is outdoors during the day and kept indoors at night.

If you are interested in discussing this further please call Arlene on 0412663009 and we’ll happily provide more information about ourselves too.”
