New friends and those returning...


Today, some long-awaited new arrivals finally arrived many thanks to Nic’s sister, Maria & her family.


We’ve been waiting for some fencing to be finished so that we had a safe place to put them. The fencing also means the dogs now have a HUGE yard instead of a tiny run.

The chooks expressed their pleasure at being welcomed to Garra Garra by providing us with three eggs, one from each of them – not a bad effort when they’re still getting settled.



We had an old friend return today as well. We see wallabies (or a wallaby) here occasionally. We think this one is the same one that was here last year around the same time – it seems around our place and the creek bed is her place to bring up her joey. She’s very heavy with one now and last year they hung around down at the creek until the joey was out of the pouch. I hope she’s here to stay for a while and it was lovely to see her so close to the house (we took these pictures from the lounge room window)
