Exploring our new environment

We have been spending the days going for walks and riding around our new neighbourhood. The new hood is different to that of many.

We are a community plopped in the middle of a defence training ground.  We are 14km from the nearest town and you can flip a coin at the front gates and decide which road to take to explore (that will take you over an hour to get to) 


We share our neighbourhood with the animals on our flag.  They wonder up to our front yard of a night and have a nibble of what green grass we have. I have not managed to snap a photo of them up close yet.  Our friend seems to want to spring them and enjoys watching them run away from her.
There are plenty of birds to find and identify.

We are all feeling very content here and at home.  The boy (who loves to explore and collect rocks and sticks) is in his element here. 

I have plans for this spot in the backyard.  It will become our vegetable plot.

  3. Glad you are settling in well. We lived on base for the last two years and we loved it. I am having to teach Ginger about road safety now we actually have cars go down our street. LOL

    My girl is very much into collecting rocks and sticks at the moment. Everywhere we go we come home with rocks!!!
