Alicudi

Alicudi is one of seven inhabited islands in the Aeolian Islands archipelago (Isole Eolie or Isole Lipari in Italian), off the coasts of Sicily and mainland Italy. Alicudi is the most remote and has the smallest population of the islands, with its peace broken only by infrequent ferry arrivals, and by the braying of the donkeys which are the island’s mode of transport.

The island is a simple and basic place, with an absolutely unique atmosphere and fewer than 100 inhabitants. Its rugged charm and isolation attract a particular brand of voyager: adventurers, artists, writers and loners looking for some peace to reflect or to work.

Alicudi is also the name Ron and Sue gave their property just outside of Orange. It is a simple basic place with an absolutely unique atmosphere and fewer than 3 inhabitants. Its rugged charm and isolation attract a particular brand of voyager: adventurers, artists, writers, italians and caravanners looking for some peace to reflect or to work. The property of just over 3 acres is undeveloped, as Ron and Sue are currently making preparations to commence building

Ron and Sue were generous in allowing us to set up camp on Alicudi as our base for exploration of the southern section of the Central west. It is a beautiful property with a splendid aspect.

Ron and Sue are currently residing in Bathurst, but came to Alicudi on a few occassions to clear and cut and stack trees whilst we’ve been here.

Whilst on Alicudi we provided Jake with a call sign on his back. That way we’ll know more easily when someone is calling us on the 2-way.

Today at Alicudi the 4 of us got stuck into more cutting and stacking of timber from trees felled by the installers of overhead power between each of the properties. ’twas a great day.
