I am not what I was to be, I am not what I used to be, I am not what I could be, I am not what I ought to be and so pray tell - what am I destined to be?
I was to be a specialty nursery, growing exotic foliage in support of the main act; beautiful floral arrangements. I used to be a busy little business, an extension of a florist enterprise providing colourful flowers and leafy greenery to the Brisbane Markets after being processed in my workshops, warehouse, and cold rooms.
I could have been a market garden, my rich fertile soil providing nutrients to grow then supply health giving vegetables to feed many. Had I been organic, I'd have supplied sought after specialty ingredients to our local restaurants and in reality, I still retain all of those functions and more if you just add in my chook yards or livestock. But the question now is … just what am I destined to be?
With 5 rich clean level fertile acres that could just about grow babies, I ought be whatever your dreams imagine me to be and with a solid full brick 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home built ready to accommodate a second storey, I'm ready for a tribe of babies!
Situated on friendly Palmers Island just up the road from the local primary school and only 10km's to Yamba with its shops, clubs, restaurants, and magic beaches. I'm also only 12km to Maclean with its medical services, hospital, schools, and commercial centre.
Surrounded by sugar cane farms, it's so quiet here amongst my many gardens, water features and natural wonderland, could I be a meditation retreat? My sheds, cool-rooms, 4 door garage and other various infrastructure would suit many a home based family business – is that my future?
One certainty; if you're looking to raise a family outside the city hustle, somewhere you can stretch out, run a few horses, grow some veggies, collect the eggs each morning and walk across the neighbour's paddock to swim, canoe, fish or catch 'muddies' in Micalo Channel out back, there's just one unanswered question.
That is: To be … or not to be?
