A Toolong farmer has decided to join the tiny house movement.
Leigh Dwyer is building a dwelling complete with two bedrooms, a kitchen, entertainment area and bathroom on the back of a semi-trailer.
The home has been dubbed Ms Dwyer's "tiny mansion" by her eight-year-old daughter Bel.
Ms Dwyer said the home would eventually be self-sufficient through the use of a generator, solar power and a composting toilet.
She said she had decided to build the removable home to allow her and Bel to travel around Australia.
Initially the plan is to travel in school holidays, but Ms Dwyer said she hoped to one day travel three months of the year.
"Eventually it will be totally off the grid and we'll have the ability to travel around," Ms Dwyer said.
The 11-metre by four-metre home will resemble an apartment when finished.
Ms Dwyer said Bel loved the "tiny mansion" - especially her large play area.
"She's got a massive play area covered in fake grass," she said.
In addition to that Bel has a spacious bedroom and the home will even feature a small office area.
"She was dreaming about me building her a house with stairs and she's got her stairs," she said.
Ms Dwyer said she believed the tiny house movement was popular because it allowed people to reduce the costs associated with building and living in a large home.
"We don't really need a whole lot of space," she said.
Ms Dwyer said she believed the movement would allow more people to achieve the Australian dream of building their own home.
She said their home would be unique as it was being built on a semi-trailer.
"I like to think outside the box," Ms Dwyer said.
"I like to do things a little bit differently and give Bel the best experiences."
Ms Dwyer hopes to have the tiny mansion completed in about three months.
"It's slowly coming together," she said. "I can't wait to get it on the road."
Ms Dwyer will retain some land at Toolong to house the trailer for most of the year.
