Freshwater Creek

3Listings

I'm a mother of 2 grown up girls who enjoys retired life on my biodynamic farm. I'm an environmentalist, and a member of local Landcare, land for wildlife, the biodynamic gardener's association, and society for rare domestic breeds. I also support the neighbouring Freshwater Creek Steiner School and an organisation that we have started called Rewilding Freshwater Creek. Animals on my farm include horses, cows, ducks, chooks and dogs. Kangaroos visit us along the creekline and we have alot of local birds. We grow a lot of our own food, vegetables, fruit, eggs. I love country life and love to share this peaceful environment with my guests.

Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Thompsons Creek

Ask Mary Rose how to access Thompsons Creek. This creek is just below the studio truck . Access is via a paddock and 2 gates. This is short walk and shows how a creek can be restored for wildlife. You will see lots of birds, and kangaroos if lucky

Farm Activities

Depending on the season and time of day, there may be opportunities for farm activities such as fruit picking, animal feeding and general farm activities. Let Mary Rose know if you would like to be involved

Freshwater Creek Reserve

Walk up the driveway to my front gate. Cross road, go over the stile. Walk up lane way, go over the next stile at next fence into Freshwater Creek Reserve. Red gums line the creek, some sacred, hundreds of years old. Walk back via Common Ground Project cafe.

Exploring The Farm

Lead by our host Mary Rose, we toured the biodynamic farm and were welcomed to involve ourselves in the tasks at hand - feeding the horses, milking the cows, gathering the chickens eggs.
