Some words from the vendors:
"The idea of living bill free was appealing to us and once we installed the extra rainwater tanks, solar power and repaired the pipes from the creek we were on our way to living a sustainable life. The established orchard and addition of 14 new fruit trees guarantees a wide supply of fruit for years to come.
At night it is serene and cool with the tranquil sounds of running water, frogs and cicadas chirping. Venus can be seen at sunset every single night out of the lounge room window and as night falls the sky is completely covered with glowing stars.
There is the feeling of always being on holidays with the warble of the magpies and as you turn onto Cleland Gully Rd a wave of relaxation hits as you leave your work worries behind.
Washing dishes was never a chore as you gaze at the hills, grazing cows and horses or watching the beautiful sun showers.
We spent rainy winter nights by the fire toasting marshmallows and proving bread on the top of the wood heater. In summer the kids climbed the peacan trees and swung from their branches, hidden behind the beautiful lush green leaves. Walking down to the creek was always a fun adventure either to start the pump or picking wild blackberries and we would always be greeted by the horses for a pat.
It is true how country people are so friendly with amazing neighbours on all sides who are always willing to lend a hand or enjoy a cup of tea.
We are sad to be leaving and will miss the view, peace, serenity and space."
