An impulse decision to buy a home in the rainforest results in a comedy of errors involving a python in the roof, an unexpected tax bill, two reality TV shows discussing bowel movements with Shane Warne. (R)
Akmal Saleh doesn't like the jungle or rainforests, or any of the animals in the jungle or rainforest.
Akmal likes cafes and running water, which made the comedian's purchase of a cabin in the hills outside Byron Bay incredibly puzzling to those who know him.
Looking for a place where their two dogs could run free, Akmal and his wife bought their remote cabin on an impulse.
After twelve days, they knew the tree-change, hippie lifestyle wasn't for them.
What followed was a comedy of errors involving a python in the roof, carpet-eating rats, a half-finished home, an unexpected tax bill, two reality shows and discussing bowel movements with Shane Warne.
