Day 7 Exploring a new world

Today we finally had a chance to explore the property around the Old Dairy. It’s over 30 acres of lush green pastures, and the pups are quickly learning how to slip under the fence wire (they’re little silky terriers) and follow all the new smells they’re discovering. What was meant to be a simple afternoon walk turned into a full bushwalk, as we made our way down the path to the Flowerdale River coolly rushing by at the back of the property. It was amazing to transition from the open fields, to wooded forest, to the land before time with massive man-ferns, mossy paths with toadstools and trees that could speak of the lost indigenous history. It’s incredible to think that I have this untouched wilderness and icy clear stream a simple walk from my home. I can’t wait until our first visitors come and we can transport them to another world just down the way…
