Give me a home amoungst the gum trees.. with lots of plum trees... a sheep or two and a kangaroo. Clothes line out the back.. veranda out the front... and an ooooooooold rocking chair...


Very nice view, nice and relaxed.
All I have is the park behind St Kilda road (although its nice at F1 time, you can hear it in my office and see some of the track from the windows)

City slicker, huh? Fair call i spose country bumpkin!!

Livestock, bathtub, eucalypts, swing set... all you're missing is the hills hoist but im sure there's one there....

Well 5 stories up in Adelaide's CBD i cant say the view is spectacular. Just lots of glass buildings on the other side of the road and a decent view of the Adelaide Hills. A big satellite dish on top of one building and Allianz' entertainment area. All of which I am sure you guys find very interesting. *Insert teapot picture here*

There's a dairy farm next to my office, nurseries across the road from home and I drive through national parks to get anywhere. I have nature up to my eyeballs and it makes them sore.

gww64 why does stepping in warm cow crap make you horny? Actually, I don't want to know...

I can go one better - got a view of the DVD player, my room and sitting in a nice big leather chair with my feet up at home - AND being paid for it.

I work on a construction site on the beach at the Fremantle Port all I can see is trucks, boats and trains and it's not exactly pieceful either but I can go swimming at the beach that fills my lunch break and makes the rest of the day easier to cope with.

wouldnt mind a veiw like that tho, it would sure be hard to get stressed.

I wish I could work from home ... my main office is at the top of Chatswood on the hill ... 360 degree view of Sydney and suburbs ... my other office is the driver's seat of the ute ... I see a lot from there as well.

Any self respecting city slicker wouldn't be jealous of that, I can't wait to get back to the sights and smells of the city after a few days in the country

My office view is of an upmarket eatery/watering hole, needless to say i'm not looking at sheep coming and going in that place :

Being unemployed at the moment... my view is whatever I want it to be.

You'll usually find me hanging off a good, shaded crag somewhere on a weekday morning. The most stressful thing in my life at the moment is deciding what shoes to use for what wall...

(talking climbing here)
