What a joy it was to arrive, to be greeted there by Ellen and so warmly welcomed to her superb property.
Within an hour we were visited by the "Welcoming Committee" of 3 gorgeous kangaroos, who also returned later in the evening with some extra company. Birds everywhere flitting through the trees, stopping for a dip in the giant bird bath set in a beautiful bush garden. Later that night the possums came sneaking up to visit us, and kept us all amused. Just as we were heading off to bed, we heard a loud tapping noise and after investigating with the torch, we found the source of the noise...a tawny frogmouth (owl) up in a tree with a frog in it's beak, thrashing it against the tree trunk to kill eat before enjoying it for it's late night snack ...and this was just in the first 8 hours!
On another night time walk we saw a sugar glider, bats and more possums. The kangaroos visited us every evening, and on the last night we were there, 6 showed up with 4 of them returning late at night and staying until around midnight (as if they had come to farewell us!). We also saw a mother and baby wombat and an echidna on day 2, and black cockatoos arrived early on our last morning to signal impending rain.
We had an amazing few days away with total peace and serenity in every waking moment. The house was extremely well set up for comfortable and easy living and we had everything we needed and more. I should add that the TV was never switched on, as we were too busy having fun out on the spacious verandah being entertained by all the wild life.
I would highly recommend this property for anyone that wants a retreat from a hectic lifestyle, and it is a credit to Ellen that she is happy to share her little slice of heaven. Thankyou Ellen for having us to stay.
