Hi, from Western Australia

[Geralie]

I have read and used so much wise advice on this site and thought it was about time to contribute.

I live in the southwest corner of Western Australia near the town of Bridgetown. We live on a beautiful little farm of 80 acres. We have cows, sheep, goats, sometimes pigs, chooks, turkeys, peacocks, guinea fowl and a beautiful stumpy tailed red Australian Cattle dog. We also have a huge lake like dam that is stocked with marron, yabbies and rainbow trout. Yes, we feel we are living the goodlife.

Looking forward to chatting and sharing.

I had to google yabbies and marrons. They look a lot like what we have here called crawdads. They look quite a bit bigger than the crawdads I catch here. Crawfish down south get a lot bigger than here too. Maybe it’s the colder water. I bet they taste good.

Love the pictures! We live on 8 acres, sure wish we had a pond, even a little one! Your lake is beautiful. Our daughter and family have a Blue Heeler/Australian Shepherd cross, smart dog that loves the children. Your Red Heeler is a lovely dog. What breed of cattle? Those look like Dorper sheep, I have Dorper and Katahdin cross ewes with a registered Katahdin ram. I like your pig set up, do you raise them for market?

Glad you joined, welcome to the forum from Texas!

Welcome from VA -- USA. Love your lake. So peaceful looking! The rolling terrain adds to it all. Very inviting. And that dirt is so red....

It will be fun to have some more input from "downunder".

I suggest you go to your set-up & add "Western Australia" to your location. Often questions &/or replies have an entirely different meaning, or consideration, when we see where the question or reply comes from. Even our seasons differ. That seasonal difference is nice when we have snow and you have green!

You have a beautiful farm!

Thank you for your comments and interest.
@MtViking
Marron are my favourite shellfish- rubbed with garlic, wrapped in thin slices of bacon and grilled on the barbie, yum.
@Baymule
Murray Grey cattle, Dorper sheep. Mainly eat the pigs, ourselves and our kids and their families.

Glad to be here
