“A little while ago we fell in love with Chinderah, just south of the boarder,” Ms Watts said. “The sleepy river front town in northern New South Wales has been roused by a small business boom with lots of creative businesses popping up. It’s old school.

“Locals know each other’s names, its not over developed and most importantly, it feels right to us.”
