A picture tells a thousand words, so here’s the story of our Christmas at the farm – from arriving in the golden glow of sunset, Christmas lights and Christmas beetles, millions of grasshoppers, Doc building his country shed, and all the rest

The Mighty Murrumbidgee … and thousands of white cockatoos

I love this country, in all its moods.
When a drought breaks in Australia, it really breaks. Our farm is on the Murrumbidgee, one of Australia’s mighty rivers. It’s even called the Mighty Murrumbidgee. For a number of years it has been just a thin trickle, a shadow of its “Mighty” self. When we drive over the bridge on the way to the farm it looks like you could walk across it in parts.
Or that is – looked. Past tense. Because now the drought has broken and the Mighty Murrumbidgee is flowing again.
