Having a small drone can be quite handy on a small farm, we normally use ours to check stock tank levels and to check some of our fence line to check for fallen branches. I’ve never really been a particularly big fan of aerial or drone photography (and to be …
While the farm and blog have been taken over with the Pygmy Goats lately, our other animals and livestock are still very much important parts of our daily lives. To show my appreciation to the everything our little feathered and furry pets bring to our lives, I did an impromptu …
It is certainly a magical experience to be able to walk outside on my front verandah and be able to witness the spectacular Aurora Australia, its certainly one more thing to add to the list of long reasons why I love living on a farm. I remember as a kid …
