I'm on 11 acres, 2.5 of which are landscaped living area. The rest is regenerating Aussie bush. 5 chickens and 2 roosters, two border collies and a Shepherd/blue heeler cross, 1 belted Galloway steer, 1 equestrian horse. Visited regularly by kangaroos and wallabies, bandicoots and echidnas, dingoes and wombats. Neighbours are all friendly and look out for each other, near enough to be familiar, far enough to be private. We grow passionfruit, mangoes, oranges, mandarins, tumeric, kale, spinach, potatoes, lemons, capsicum, chilies, asian and leafy greens, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, blueberries, bananas, dragonfruit, peaches, tomatoes, celery, avocados, pineapples, asparagus, limes, olives.
Awesome. Yeah, i forgot about the birds and we even get koalas in mating season. A lot of the food we grow becomes possum and bird food, but that doesn't really bother us. It's just nice to be surrounded by wildlife.
Ah the sweet sounds of koala mating season! The possums at our place take one bite out of each lemon on the tree. But we love the visits too.
