Arriving at Boralea Park - last time.

This is our last trip to the horse agistment to clean up what’s left in the two sheds.

Boralea Park access road.

No more horses

Quiet morning at Meadowdrook Mansion, just sinking in that we don't have to tend to Dusty 24 x 7 x 365 - any more! Shuffling around in the carport sorting out and cleaning up stuff we brought back from the two sheds at the agistment.


His & Hers - this is the last of the stuff in the car boots and back seats. If I piled it all together there would be a small mountain of summer/winter gear.

New home for Dusty

Another busy and in some ways a sad day as Dusty has left us today for her new home in Pakenham. We had her and Elvis (TB) for 18 years!

Her new home is fabulous with private paddocks and covered eating areas, this one has a stable as well - five star. Natalie will take over full times duties whereas before we did mornings and she did evenings.

Recording acoustic guitar

Back to the music stuff and recording acoustic guitar. Previous efforts have resulted in poor audio quality but happy with this recording using my Canon MV330i mini DV camcorder and a Sony stereo condenser microphone. Please view this on a desktop PC/Mac or other device with decent audio/speakers.

Man’s guide dog may lose sight

A MAN who lost his sight and hearing eight years ago is fighting to ensure his seeing eye dog doesn’t face the same fate.

Chook shed - bedding change.

Every morning I de-poop their boxes when Holly and I go down to let them out. I change their bedding every two weeks in winter and weekly in summer when the mites are more active.



Been doing chooks for about 10 years and have become paranoid about bird mites so I dust the bottom of the cleaned out box's before putting in fresh hay. Apparently mites leave their hosts in the morning and retreat into the bedding and other places where they can hide. This is why I only use 'hard surface' coop furniture like plastic boxes and laminated timber. A regular piece of timber is a perfect hiding place for the little buggers.
