Doggy fun in the park

We often take Shadow with us when we go to town for supplies. There's a lovely park (Palm Park) by the Brunswick River where we can throw the ball for him. The last time we went, Shadow found a little friend who wanted in on the action.

6th anniversary

It was our anniversary the other day. We had a wonderful day of lounging around on various surfaces, eating great food, cuddling and generally just savouring the moment. Here's Curt cooking anniversary breaky on the barby!

Lounge at night

Us!

Just in case you forgot what we looked like

New camera

We bought ourselves a new camera! YAY! This one is so much better than our old one and hopefully will inspire us to take more pics. These are all taken from around the house. The one with the pointy hill is Mt Chincogan, a local Mullumbimby landmark that can be seen from our property. Just beyond the trees in front of our deck, you can see a fire. That's the sugar cane farm below. They set the whole lot on fire, then harvest it. Awesome to watch.

Permaculture...starts with carpet

It's looks weird now but in a few months, we're hoping to have piles of mushroom compost thrown down on those old carpets and veggies galore growing out of them. This is all on top of the area that Curt cleared from all that elephant grass. Great way to recycle those old carpets we ripped out of the house. Since the soil is pretty poor (very dry hard clay type soil) we thought we'd better build up the 'permaculture way' instead of digging down, which is near on impossible. Our rocket salad which we planted when we arrived has come along pretty well doncha think?

Snakes alive!

Check out this fella! He's a huge carpet snake (python) climbing up to our roof. Amazingly beautiful and not harmful to humans, we were happy to have him around.
