We have reluctantly decided to sell up and move into town – something that makes sense for us now that we are older. It has been a wonderful time for us here with the serene beauty and wildlife. Our visitors remark on the peace and lovely outlook. We have enjoyed lying in bed watching the sunrise, the kangaroos, soaring eagles and the abundance of other birds. We had the house built seventeen years ago: designed to make the most its place on this farmlet. Big windows give big views of the farm, the skies, the mountains and the wildlife.
