Hi everyone, thanks for adding me Mark.
Been a follower on YouTube for a couple of years now and saw you had this forum on your septic video.
Hubby and I are both bush kids but then lived in Canberra for work (don't hold that against us, think tradie not pollie😂).
After a work accident changed our lives forever we decided to realise our dream and shift most of our very large family out to western nsw and are building a barn house (shed) on 1 and 1/4 acres.
We got caught in a 2 state lockdown during covid while moving stuff so ended up out here 6 months ahead of schedule and decided to just run with it.
A small veggie garden was establish, more chooks bought after I sold my breeding birds before moving.
Bought our Muscovy ducks and Guinea pigs out and of course the dogs.
And then we purchased our goats and meat rabbits.
We had to use a post hole digger to the ground for our citrus tress as the ground is heavy clay and we live across from a creek on a flood plain.
We experienced our first flood last week.
With dreams of living like my grandparents did as well as being self reliant (we are an hour is so from a major shopping hub) I'm determined to throw myself into this lifestyle whole heartedly.
The kids and I dug up a bigger patch for a much bigger garden this season and are working to improve the soil.
The kids and grandkids are loving life here and the freedom it brings/
Looking forward to learning more and helping where I can, I'm a chicken/rabbit breeder and have knowledge in animal husbandry.
Very interested in learning year round food and preserving as well as foraging and bush food.
Cheers C
