Finding Clarity as a Castaway: What we can learn from Island Living

Isolation doesn’t always mean being alone. Here in Australia the Island life is closer at hand than you might expect, and it has the potential to tell us some interesting things about the way we live.

Room for One More? Multiple Families Living Under the One Roof.

It seems an unlikely trend, but it’s one on the rise. The number of families inhabiting one dwelling remains relatively low in the grand scheme, but it’s jumped from 1% to nearly 2% in a very short period of time according to the latest census data. Younger generations are getting onto the property ladder later in life than their forebears, and baby boomers are more receptive to having their children live home for longer, or even return to live at home later in life.

A House on the Water!

One look at a population distribution map of Australia and it’s obvious we are a people of the sea. Beaches, BBQs and a curling waves; icons of Australian culture the world over. We’re a nation of surfers, swimmers and sailors; with boat ownership experiencing a year on year rise that now sees 13% of Australian households having some sort of watercraft.

The Great Australian Dream We Were Sold

Whilst the American dream is defined by the pursuit of prosperity through a vaguely defined sense of liberty our own national dream is a lot more concrete. Home ownership, plain and simple, is what came to define the image of Australian success in the post-war period. A dream made reality by a growing population and low unemployment. It’s an actualisation many see as the cause of our substantial urban sprawl and it’s a process that has made a lot of people a lot of money. In today’s Australia, one of greater social and cultural diversity and a property market of similar complexity, perhaps the great Australian dream needs a new lick of paint.
