X-Message-Number: 29833 Subject: An Australian Cryonics facility & apartment for sale From: Phil Rhoades <> Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 18:18:49 +1000 People, Many of you will be aware that I have been working for some years on the establishment of an Australian Cryonics facility. I have made some progress with this plan - I have approval for a family facility from the NSW State Health Department and planning approval from the local Council. I have purchased a 50 acre block of land outside Cowra (a small country town 4 hours west of Sydney) and have been making other preparations (I have also purchased an adjoining block of 100 acres). However I decided some time ago that a stand-alone, non-profit Cryonics facility was not going be financially viable and that it would need to be subsidised by some for-profit organisations. So as part of the "master plan" I have been gradually getting out of the IT industry (although I originally trained as a biologist, I have been in the IT industry for 20+ years) and setting up commercial operations that were in some way related to Life Extension - and could eventually help subsidise the Cryonics/Suspended Animation research plans. One of these businesses is called "Life Extension Villages" (LEVs) and the first of these is a US$5M property development (also in Cowra): http://pricom.com.au/lev/ LEVs will be environmentally friendly, energy efficient, hi-tech (including medical monitoring) communities specifically aimed at people who want to live longer and better. I have made some progress with this "Serenity" LEV development (land purchase in Cowra township, Architectural sketches, meetings with Council etc) and am confident that this sort of development is going to attract national attention for various reasons. Unfortunately the side effect of doing new things and getting out of the IT Industry is that the cash flow from the IT business is drying up and so I have been forced into the position of having to put my apartment (on Sydney Harbour) on the market, so that I can continue to develop the LE projects: http://pricom.com.au/photos/3_1_NorthcliffSt The apartment will probably sell for about US$1.1M . I would prefer not to have to sell this place but to keep the ball rolling with these other Life Extension projects I probably don't have much choice at the moment. However, if I HAVE to sell this apartment, I would prefer to sell it to another Cryonicist/Life Extensionist so I am letting you all know just in case someone has an interest. The other idea I had for using this apartment was as a stop-over residence for US Life Extensionists visiting Australia - I aim to have some of the residences in the "Serenity" village available for rent for tourists or for people who just want to escape from the rat-race for a while. Maybe a US Life Extensionist "Discover Oz" package deal could be set up. Cowra is centrally located in NSW and would make a great base for people on an extended tour of NSW/Oz. Anyway, I thought I would bring people up to date with what is happening and if anyone does have some interest in these projects, don't hesitate to contact me . .
