Wayne Carey appears to be immersed in a new career in the real estate industry
The former Kangaroos star took a video tour of this stunning Heathcote Junction apartment which has its own pub.

Carey has been involved in several controversies during his career, one of which included an alleged affair with a teammate’s wife in 2002.
Recently, Carey had surprised controversial football identity, Sam Newman, by revealing that he had been making a change in his life.
The pair had been discussing their views on Welcome to Country on ‘Are You Serious?’ podcast, when Carey made the comment.
Newman had begun ranting about Welcome to the Country during the episode, but Carey returned admitting that the arguments didn’t bother her. He said he had been working with a professional who had made him realize that he shouldn’t worry about things he had no control over.
“I know you’re passionate about Sam and I’ve heard your comments about it,” Carey said.
‘I work with a lady quite a bit, and have for some time now.
‘People will be surprised by this, but I continually work on myself.
‘I speak to a lady called Tess, Tess Mallett is her name and she is a life coach. I’m not a psychologist, but I suppose there is psychology involved.

Carey marveled at the luxurious Victorian property as she walked through the house and its spacious grounds.
‘It’s about working on yourself. And you know what? Things like, for example, for you it’s Welcome to the country and other things.
‘For me, do I think it should be done for everything, everywhere and all the time? Probably not.
‘But does it bother me? No, it’s not like that.
“There’s really nothing in the world – and this is simply because I’ve worked on myself in this area – that makes me very angry.
‘Whether it’s an individual or something like Welcome to Country, whatever it is, I just allow people to have their own emotions about it.
“I don’t judge you for your opinion on the matter, but I don’t let things bother me.”
