fallen tree
nature wins and loses
wind has spoken
Just one of the hazards encountered on our brother and sister in laws’ bush property in the mountains East of Melbourne. They devote their entire property to the preservation of wildlife, mostly Indigenous although Deer, Foxes and cats tend to roam about. This creates quite a dilemma as they do not believe in killing any life. At times Kangaroos have become too familiar such as wandering into the garage and sitting down on armchairs. A large Brown Snake called Melissa lives under and in the roof of their dwelling. She tends to look after any mice that loiter.
I love the sound of that place.

Not appealing for mice though . I will include a couple of view photos with a haiku soon. We last went there a year ago.

A beautiful haiku Denis and very apt with so many fallen trees in Ireland after Ophelia. This looks like an amazing place to call home and I love the idea of kangaroos sitting down on armchairs in the garage! 😉

Thanks Xenia. It is a lovely part of our state but dark characters drift up there to shoot and sometimes buy out of the way land. Hence their continued buying of surrounding land to extend the wildlife refuge. Some of the kangaroos and wombats are very trusting.

A large, brown snake called Melissa… I am still grinning over that one. It appears, they have experienced the great gusts themselves. Traveling wind berries…

I love the humour in your haiku 🙂 The property as shown in the photos is stunning and the owners amazingly hospitable.

Thanks Janice. It is an amazing place but there are some strange people living in the hills too.
