Our Site is north facing with approximately 15 degree slope which has been used to full advantage to create a sun trap and extend our growing season by reducing incidence of frosts and trapping available heat to compete against the often harsh environment (cold frosty and foggy winters and hot dry summers on predominately poor shallow mudstone derived & compacted soils.) |
|
Extensive shelterbelts (predominately eucalypts and wattles) planted to southern and western boundaries give the property bad weather protection. |
|
Our orchard area includes stone and pome fruit as well as small fruits (blackberries, raspberries, grapes, blueberries etc) |
|
Extensive vegetable
growing area and chicken run.
|
|
Ornamental garden areas planted with birches, ashes, flowering cherries, pittosporums and Japanese maples, with an understorey planted with roses, lavender, philadelphus etc. |
|
Ground
covering annuals and perennials predominately Dahlias, lupins, cosmos,
calendulas, pentstemon, sweet pea etc.
|
|
A special
feature is the
1.6 km walking track along our creek and around
the
dams, ponds and the establishing wetlands area.
The track is
planted with native and
introduced
deciduous trees and has
sweeping grassed areas overlooking the water features. The track has park
benches provided to rest on and to absorb the peace.
