Tim Mathieson spending more time alone in a caravan The First Bloke is spending a bit of time on his own now: Four months ago, Prime Minister Julia Gillard's partner, Tim Mathieson, quietly bought a bush block on the bank of the Goulburn River near Jamieson, in north-east Victoria. Mr Mathieson has since placed a caravan on the secluded and partly forested block, which backs on to the river as it enters Lake Eildon. Between periods in residence at The Lodge in Canberra, Mr Mathieson - known as ""the First Bloke"" - has been spending time alone and with his mates on the 1150-square-metre block... According to a listing on a real estate website, the property at Jamieson ... was sold on January 14 this year... It was listed in the bargain price range of $105,000-$125,000... The ""First Bloke"" ... has spent the past week touring with a friend in the United States, where he visited one of his daughters.
