With two auctions scheduled for Josh and Elyse over the next five weeks, they revealed while they’re nervous about both outcomes, it’s their Coburn property which is front of mind.
‘It’s probably more stressful going through that auction than it is The Block because it’s our own money and our own blood, sweat and tears over 18 months to 2 years,’ Josh explained.
Elyse added: ‘We lived in the old shack, showered outside, we cooked on the barbecue. Every wall was a different wall paper, the bathrooms were every colour under the sun – it was a very interesting time.’
