There is nothing like a lovingly restored motor vehicle to capture the interest of residents and visitors to Oakdale Residential Village.
This beauty was restored by Gary, our resident caretaker, a project that commenced during COVID and is now almost complete. The 1970 Dodge was left abandoned on a rural property until discovered by Gary and so commenced the painstaking and sometimes frustrating task of bringing the Dodge back to its former glory.
Fortunately, Gary knows his way around motor vehicles having worked around trucks and cars all his life. Just as important was Gary’s determination and the patience of his supporting wife Fiona to see the job through. While Gary was working on the Dodge, Fiona was establishing a beautiful garden with a fantastic display of roses, as can be seen below.
Gary and Fiona made Oakdale Residential Village their home in late 2019, moving into a beautiful brand new 2-bedroom modular home supplied by Hi-tech Modular Homes.
Not only did they move to be closer to family, they also released equity previously locked up in the land component of their previous property. Being of a generation who didn’t have a substantial superannuation balance, freeing up funds for retirement was a very important consideration.
Six years on, Gary and Fiona are still enjoying life at Oakdale Residential Village and are looking forward to the many improvements planned for the Village in the next 2 years including a swimming pool, BBQ and recreation area as well as a community building which will be home to many wonderful community events.
“We enjoy the peace and quiet of living in a smaller residential village and we are excited about its future development. We look forward to welcoming new residents and establishing new friendships.”
