Didn't see this at all last year, but this year is a much happier breeding year for our sheep (better weather and fewer deaths.) I reckon this is about as adorable as it gets!

I'm just getting in there to clear some space. I spent a couple of hours working on this, and there's a lot more trash to get rid of, but I managed to put a good dent in the initial task.

It's funny everythime I see it. Finally I caught it on film so y'all can laugh at it too! Music: Entertainment Musician: Alexander Nakarada URL: https://filmmusic.io/song/4761-entertainment License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Riparian tree planting along the waterways of a local beef farm. Great work, greater workout!

Inspired by my recent tree planting escapades, I've finally made some decisions about where some of the many cabbage trees we have are to be planted. Some to diversify or water way, some to add interest, and sweet smelling flowers in our gardens.

Reason #358 why the Chicken coop won't be completed this year 😅 We couldn't turn this down though, what a winner! 🥳 🐑

We've been cut off from the nearest city for 3 months after Cyclone Gabrielle, and the roads have just reopened. This is our first trip back into town and I'm making this as a follow up to my clip 'Dancing around Gabrielle.' Bridges ripped in half, car sized boulders casually strewn about, slash, silt and debris piled up everywhere... it's still a mess but hats off to the roading crews who have worked tirelessly to reinstate access for us all!! While the road was closed, a 1hr trip would've taken us 13 hours! When the road reopened on a Sunday, with a 50-tonne max weight limit, being maxed out from day 2 by logging trucks (as you'll see), we decided to wait until the Friday before our first trip in...just to be on the safe side!

I caught my Ram in the middle of a dream - so funny!

I spotted what I thought was a Heron as the lambs thought it'd be a good idea to sneak up on me!

We pulled up from our weekly shopping trip just in time to see the first flash of lightening and clap of thunder. I ran to rescue my gardening trolley and then minutes later this happened...

We finally found the lil noise-maker!

I caught a Kingfisher bathing in the trough in the early morning light. 🐦

As a follow up to last video, this is what I've spent the majority of my time pursuing in the last year. Growing food provides me with the groundedness of getting into the rhythm and flow of nature. It's like an uncontrollable compulsion, a never ending fascination.

As the title suggests... I've found a method to keep my brassicas safe 🥳

Magpies are a pest around here - they chase off all our native birds.

Drying Bay leaves was easy, who'd have thought I'd be so challenged drying Chives? Certainly not me!

We borrowed 2 Perendale Rams to try and shorten our breeding season and make dealing with the lambs easier. If our Mr. has missed any ewes these under-sexed rams won't let them slip by! So far, they've been highly entertaining 🤩 Music: 'Sycamore Tree' & 'Good Morning' & 'Bullfest' Musician: Philip E Morris

This is the one and only lizard I've found while at this property.

The sole remaining survivor after the neighbors cull last year (apparently they can contain Tuberculosis that can affect cattle) who mainly hangs out with the sheepies now.

The title and music mix won't make much sense to you and I won't explain it other than to say that creating this video was just a little astrological exercise I partook in as a part of a small group. The clips and pics are all of me dancing with my Fire Poi.
