Frosty mornings awakens our senses, it’s getting harder to get out in the garden with the frost sitting heavy on the landscape. Plants are dormant, the grass has stopped growing which is a blessing for the chief gardener of lawns, daylight is less, but this is winter so why are we constantly surprised by frosty morning, wetter days & snow?
Winter gives us time to reflect & move forward with our plans. Time is spent de cluttering the house and our minds whilst we warm our bones by the fire and fill our bodies with hearty stews.

Frosty mornings and the clean fresh air tickles our skin. Grass has stopped growing and the days seem shorter and darker, or maybe it's just us sleeping in and going to bed earlier. Whatever it is, we are embracing this wonderful property we call home. Tall gum trees swaying in the breeze while the owls bark at night.
June/July 2023
Situated 800 meters above sea-level, it's not unusual to wake to a cover of snow, this excites Alan & Teddy to no end. They quickly race to the door and start playing together in the snow before it disappears. It's quick to melt, so if you’re here when it snows, get out, play around and enjoy this magical time.
Easter is nearly here 9th April, think chocolate eggs, easter egg hunt. We have increased our little flock of chooks so we have plenty of real eggs. We like to share, so our guests in Bullarto get to enjoy the freshest of eggs possible.

Christmas Not That Far Away?
October 2022
Spring has sprung as they say, but it’s still feeling like winter. Bulbs around the area are flowering, and the creeks are overflowing. The waterfalls at Sailors & Trentham Falls are magnificent, and both places are definitely worth the visit or picnic.
I know it’s early but Christmas is just around the corner, less than 80 days (about 10 weeks) so it’s time to start planning your Christmas stay.

September 2022
A spring has been put back into our step. Spring brings a new lease of life on almost everything, bulbs are flowering, fruit is forming, and leaves are bursting into shape. Days are brighter and longer, the sky is clear and life on the land is looking up after the closing of winter.

August 2022
We are finally settling into winter, cool crisp mornings with a cover of frost on the ground. Fires burning all night, we have hydronic heating so after Easter the fires are lit, and they will continue to roar until end October. After that we clean and freshen up the fireplaces & cooktops ready for next winter.
