    To quote an iconic Australian movie that everybody should watch as a matter of urgency, “it’s not a house, it’s a home.”

    I’m talking about The Castle. You can watch the full movie on YouTube.

    We digress, though. We’re here to talk about how one defiant Sydney family is refusing to yield to pressure from property developers in the area.

    Rather than take the sizeable cheques that have been offered for their two-hectare stretch of land at The Ponds, New South Wales, the Zammit family is sticking it to the man.

    We mean sizeable – some estimates put the value of the land as high as AU$50 million (around R550 million).

    Clearly, they value all that space as well as being a roughly 40-minute drive from Sydney’s CBD.

    More from a 7News report filmed last week:

    The Zammit family haven’t given many interviews, but NewsAU does quote 50-year-old Diane Zammit as saying that the neighbourhood used to be “farmland dotted with little red brick homes and cottages”:

    “Every home was unique and there was so much space – but not any more. It’s just not the same.”

    Part of me hopes they hold out and stick to their guns, and part of me thinks they’d be total fools for not cashing in.

    Maybe they’re waiting until there’s $75 million on the table.

    Fair dinkum.
