Farm Stay

Rainbow in the sky over our cottage.
Sunset over Applecross Farm

All sorts of birds to wake us in the morning, it reminded me of waking up in country England


Shalese contemplainting life on the farm



The Giant Drop - oops sorry swing! Dad keeping a watchful eye on all things safe!




Horse riding at the neighbours farm - we couldnt keep the smile of Shalese's face! Loved it!





Nathan just got back from his ride on the horse Sophie






JB heading off on his adventure!







Our 3hour tour of the farm, this was Shalese's favourite thing, travelling in the back of the ute!








Collecting firewood on the tractor, Shalese was trying not to laugh, but it made leanna laugh even more!









We got involved with Farm Stay, a organisation that connects city families with a farming family. We were placed with a family from Glen Innes who had a cattle farm, 4 hrs from brisbane. We did ute rides, tractor rides, cut firewood, shooting, horse riding, flying, motorbike riding, visit neighbours, tour of the town etc for a week. God is amazing, the family we were placed with are Christians who have missionaries come to stay in thier little cottage when they need rest! We had a wonderful time, and they were very generous with thier time and hospitality. They have travelled and lived in many different countries and he has been a pilot for many airlines. A day after I got off the plane we headed off to 0 degree temps! It was a fantastic way to get back into Aussie culture!
