Life is a journey (here is the end)

As we find the wild raspberries as above and the Red-backed Fairy Wrens below we realise just how kind nature has been to us. It certainly makes me realise we MUST preserve it at all costs.

Wrens again.
A beautiful view looking back over the main area of our farm with the shed showing behind the tall dead gum tree. The gum tree although dead makes a great home for many types of parrots and other animals.

What a view! Looking off into the distance from the top of one of our hills.
Looking down the side of the hill the grass is very tall as you can see from the inclusions in the picture.
To get to the top of this particular hill Craig had to walk through this tangled mess of vines branches and ground cover.

This tree is the survivor of a strangler fig that tried to wrap itself around it.
More dense sub-tropical rain forest.

Here is a beautiful shot of a wild Staghorn fern. These attach themselfs to just about anything and can survive....even on the side of a rock as in this picture.

An Staghorn and Elkhorn fern in the middle of this picture.
A mixture here....both Elkhorn and Staghorn ferns growing together.
Lots of Elkhorns growing on dead trees and leaf litter.

Same again.

and again.
Peeking through the rain forest into the open paddocks.
Maiden's Hair Fern (the light one) and another type of fern. Great contrast eh?

Again looking over our farm from above, no the far hills aren't ours.

Another beautiful view.

Even weeds have their own beauty.

A vine with lovely coloured flowers, also a weed.
More of our paddocks.



I love the contrast of the greens, blue and white.
On his way back home, down the mountain.

Again a lovely picture of contrasts.


Looking down towards the Black Camp Creek.


Some of our Silkies, I love the two at the back especially. Their colours are lovely as well as their patterns.

As you can see Reeses is coming through her chemotherapy relatively with patches of hair missing here and there but that is usually as a result of the vet having to shave her. She is starting to look like a poodle.
And Peanut wondering what all the fuss is about.
