Beech Forest in Vic would be another good location for me to look at as if you put up the Victoria Google map you will see there are a couple of lakes not far away.
Blackwood, Vic apparently has mineral springs as does Daylesford, so I would try and tap into the mineral springs as the water would be great for people's health, a true wonder and a natural resource. As I said before see if it is possible to get a professional dowser to dowse for water on land your thinking of so you can get access to it, but there are a lot of mineral springs around above as I have stated which are great healthwise.
Also the above places are far enough away to be inclusive but not that far away that you could not get help if needed, re medical emergencies and so on.
The soil around these places is also good, rich and fertile for growing food.
I would search hobbit house in the forum as that is the type of dwellings I would put on my land, half under the ground which would prevent the problem of heat and cold and also help with prying eyes looking for conventional housing.
