G'day everyone,
I am from one of the most beautiful parts of Australia. Located just West of Byron Bay in the hinterland ,close to Lismore. In 1976 we began building our house on 2.5 hectare ( 5 acres) and now live in what we consider paradise. We have a substantial rain forest area which we planted 25 years ago, and have gone from no trees, very few birds to heaps of birds, wallabies, koalas at times and a wonderful lifestyle all because off the hundreds of trees we planted.
I retired recently and have the time to back into the gardening, especially veggies. I have found Marks videos extremely helpful, down to earth and got me, getting into it! We have raised gardens, with Hugelkulture at work and are beginning to harvest . Our garden inspired by SSM has gone up a notch or two. Having fun , and are always ready to learn some more.
Cheers
John H

I’m originally from Casino and my parents still live there while I live Perth now. But Dunoon is gorgeous. One of my firsts games of soccer was there. Happy planting

Welcome John. I am also recently (2 years) retired and trying to recover my yard that has survived on neglect for way too long. Sounds like you do live in paradise! Well done!

Welcome Chook49, sounds like paradise indeed. Nothing much better than growing and eating your own food. Hope to hear/see more of your paradise :)
