Injured Aussie cricketer Peter Siddle and fiancee Anna Weatherlake have secured a $1.94 million building block in Black Rock, the bayside Melbourne suburb. 

They are ready to build their dream home on the 913 sqm block, which is 200 metres from the bay. It was the first time offered in nearly 80 years.

They've commissioned McKimm Architecture and Design to create something really special and we are looking forward to that next chapter of our lives”.

As to whether his next home will have more room for a bit of backyard cricket, Siddle can’t say for sure.

“Maybe a little bit of room for cricket or basketball, but I don’t know what Anna will say about that – she’ll probably want the space for more animals.”

Anna suggested on her Instagram page that getting more animals is non negotiable.

Jumping for joy infront of the sold sign, Anna hashtagged '#ImPuttingAChookHouseInside' and '#NonNegotiable' '#MoreDogs' '#MoreChooks'

The couple also posed for a video infront of the for sale sign with their four dogs.

They're moving from Ormond, where they sold their renovated 1920s California bungalow for $2.05 million.

Siddle paid $1.45 million for the four bedroom home in 2012.

It came with a cinema room and outdoor jacuzzi.

Celebrity landscape gardner Jamie Durie didn't stay away from Avalon for long, having quietly bought a $2.275 million waterfront.

The original 1960s Pittwater cottage has four bedrooms, a retro kitchen and a self-contained accommodation on the lower level.

Each floor includes a deck or terrace overlooking Pittwater and a sandstone pathway leads directly to the foreshore. The 1000sq m property was listed for $2.45 million.

The property replaces the hillside home the Manly-born Durie sold early last year. It was his whale-themed home that fetched $3.75 million.

He had teamed up with architect Walter Barda to create the home, which was designed to look like a whale. Planning and construction took three years.

The result is a complete original — topped off by an observation deck in the shape of a whale’s stomach, surrounded by a zinc roof designed to look like a whale’s tail.

Durie is no stranger to major renovations, having pioneered the ongoing renovation series, The Block in 2003.
