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.
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.
