Visiting the house site with the architect

Viktoria has been to and returned from her whirlwind trip to Tasmania, during which she visited the new house site, met three builders, went to a French wine tasting, got sung at by a fellow guest at the B&B she stayed at, managed to run late for seemingly every engagement and ate some marvellous food.
First... the site visit (more on the other bits later).
Tasmania had turned on absolutely glorious weather, rendering most of the cold-weather clothing Viktoria had packed fairly useless. Which is partly the reason why a trip to the bush saw Viktoria attired in stockings, a black lace-and-boucle dress and calf-length Victorian knickers... and partly because one must never substitute practicality for sartorial excellence...
Between meetings, Neal-the-architect drove Viktoria out to the house site in the Huon Valley. While Viktoria was mentally congratulating herself for her forethought in bringing a pair of sneakers (the red suede platform heels she had started the day in could have been a little dangerous in the mud) Neal-the-architect deemed said sneakers unworthy, and thoughtfully provided her with a sturdy pair of wellingtons in which to march through the undergrowth.
Two things became rapidly obvious... firstly, Neal-the-architect is at least a foot taller than Viktoria and secondly, those sturdy wellingtons were about two sizes too big. So while Neal easily stepped over moss-covered fallen trees and waded through knee-high bracken, Viktoria rapidly lost ground to him as she followed with all the poise and grace of a new-born gazelle on roller-skates. Which also makes her sound like a completely ungrateful snot.
But we digress.
The following photos are taken relative to the position of the 'reference gum' noted on the site survey below. The 'reference gum' is about 50m from the road, and about 40m from the edge of the cliff (where the survey lines stop).

This first pic was taken standing around the middle of the site - the reference gum is the one in the centre of the image in the distance. This is roughly where the top level of the house (where the carport is likely to be) will be situated.

For this next photo, Viktoria turned 180 degrees - showing the position of the future-carport, looking up to the road. It was partially taken as evidence that the sun did in fact shine on the block, and once the undergrowth is cleared will actually be quite pleasant.

Having battled \the undergrowth to the edge of the cliff, this next pic shows the view back up the site from near the cliff to the reference gum (which is the tree in mid-image with the dark hollow near the base).

And finally, here is a rather blurry image of the cliff itself. The rock structure was one of three in close proximity to each other - they were about 10m in diameter, easily 20-30m high and almost perfectly cylindrical - looking like some Atlantian columns that had been forced from the depths.

Apart from a startled pademelon and twittering birds, the only sound was the rush of the waterfall in the distance. And Viktoria swearing as she stepped out of her wellington for the hundredth time.

Next we'll let you know how we went with choosing a builder, but for the time being we would appreciate hearing what you think.

Oh, and the feline hoard are all returned to health with Miss Daintyfeet and Captain Greatpants both back on deck (to the scarcely disguised disappointment of Mistress Surly).
