Community life in the Hills

Details

• 

  Description

  I live in the Strathbogie Ranges close to our little town on 5 acres. I grow apples Nashis berries and citrus and a variety of seasonal veges. We have had a dry year so the vege garden has been scaled back.
  I like to cook healthy meals with some local meat with ayurvedic influence.
  I enjoy Yoga, singing, dancing, playing music and walks or cycling in nature. The sheep share the paddocks with visiting wombats and koalas. We have great bird life. We are part of a vibrant community and we share work projects at times.
  We are 20 mins drive from the train station which is 2 hours from Melbourne.
  We have a local shop for provisions, good coffee and local produce.
  We need to do some carpentry and maintenance jobs, garden work and all sorts of projects pop up to do.
