Wallaby Creek, Urbenville

We farewelled our hosts at Billen Cliffs last week and headed out to Urbenville, west of Kyogle, to 500 acres of bush, with a freshwater creek running through it.  Beef and dairy cattle, as well as some horses, chickens and ducks graze on the land.  Our hosts here are building an extension on their house using timber milled from their own land.  Ulf has been helping with the building, while Nahlia and I have been spending a little time in the vegetable garden.  Our hosts are a beautiful family with three children, 9 years, 5 years and 2 years old, who are all involved in and love their farm life.  Life has slowed down for us here, and we are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful surrounds, bathing in the creek, family time together, Ulf whittling, Emma hand-sewing, an abundance of home-grown eggs, freshly baked bread and cheese, cooking over a campfire every night, and sharing work and life with some great people.
