Yurts – those portable circular tent-like structures that pop up here and there. They’re actually pretty cool!
Nomadic tribes relied on yurts for thousands of years – built for life on the move. Today, they’ve been modernised and adapted to the harsher landscapes of Australia and New Zealand.
There was even a house for sale in Lyneham recently that had one in the backyard!

Cam & Renee from the MIX106.3 Real Estate Show spoke to a man who lives and breathes yurts – Founder of Yurt in the Dirt, Ryan Smith.
He spoke about the history of yurts, what modern-day ones are like and how easy (or not) it is to have one in your backyard.
