Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi lovelies, We are still in Tooma on the goat farm. We have been having such a wonderful time and trying to be more help than hindrance. Just sharing some of the photos from the last few days. Amelia was teaching the Augustus to accept the halter. Robbie trying to move Matilda out of the road so we could open the gates. Opening the side of the crush to give the calf some room after milking Heffney. Having a laugh at Poppet and Banjo who decided the chicken shed was a great place to escape the rain. Amelia and I took a trip into Corryong for some supplies (and to play ladies and have some lunch). We learned how to use the camp oven, and made a beautiful roast pork dinner.  Rosie decided it was a great place to warm up her old bones. We were taken for a trip up to some of the back pastures where the view was fabulous.  We saw a wombat.   ...

Hi Lovelies, Yesterday we travelled to the beautiful area of Tooma where we are spending a week on the property of Patanga.     The property is owned by a lovely family and we are here to help out where we can.    The property is mainly goats,  with some cattle,  horses,  pigs, chickens, geese and 3 dogs. Currently Andrew (dad), is away working so we are helping Jaime (mum) and Amelia (daughter) where we can.    The farm is beautiful, and the area is so lovely and green. It has been quite an experience so far. We arrived yesterday afternoon and began helping to rewire one of the electric fences.   It is pretty tough work, with having to attach the porcelain insulators (ceramic cotton reel thingies) to star pickets.     We were more than a little tired and slept very well. This morning I was up early and had a wander around to check out the animals. ...
