We didn’t exactly plan it. After a hearty pumpkin feast, we tossed the seeds into the paddock without much thought. Fast forward a few weeks, and nature took over. Those seeds sprouted on their own, vines sprawled across the ground and up the gully, and before we knew it, we had a pumpkin patch big ...

For six months, we drove around that branch. A big tree limb had come down in a storm, blocking part of the track. At first, it was just inconvenient, but as time went on, it became part of the routine—swerve around, keep moving, no time to stop. We were busy, and that branch wasn’t a priority. Unti...

Riding through the paddocks at Yarrella is usually a serene experience—just me, Arabella’s palomino horse Scarlett Storm (don’t blame me, we didn’t name her), and the quiet hum of nature. But the bush has a way of keeping you on your toes. Out of nowhere, a quail launched itself out of the long gras...

t’s been an amazing season. The farm is a vibrant green, the bush is alive with energy, and life is thriving everywhere you look. Walking through the paddocks, it feels like nature is putting on its best show. The birds are chirping, the air is clear, and the sights are epic… until WHAM! You walk fa...

On the farm, there’s nothing quite like watching the flames from burning a pile after we’ve pushed it up with the tractor. After the lantana, logs, and overgrowth have been pushed up into a heap, the hard work is done. That’s when Sim, Arabella, Coco, and I gather to watch the fire roar to life. It’...

The bush has a way of surprising you when you least expect it. Last week, on a walk through the bush at Yarrella, I glanced down and noticed a small sparkle. Embedded in an ordinary rock was speckled quartz, catching the sunlight just right. It wasn’t something I was looking for, but there it was—so...

I was out walking after a storm at Yarrella, I found myself dodging fallen branches and puddles when something caught my eye to the right of the track—a nest, perfectly intact, lying on the ground like it had parachuted down for a soft landing. I paused, picked it up, marvelling at the craftsmanship...

The bush has its own orchestra this time of year. The cicadas are in full concert mode, their collective song ebbing and flowing like waves. It starts gently, almost unnoticed, before swelling into a symphony so loud it drowns out everything else—the birds, the breeze, even your thoughts. You pause,...

It was one of those moments that will stay with me forever. Our Boran stud bull, Unique, is just a yearling. On this particular day he stood quietly in the paddock, almost sleepy. I knew the conditions were perfect for Coco to create a memory with her favourite “man”. Coco decided to ride him. I coa...

At Yarrella, our vegetable garden is more than just a patch of soil; it’s a place of possibility. It starts with something so small it almost seems insignificant—a watermelon seed, no bigger than your little finger. You plant it in the rich soil, water it, watch over it, and give it time. Slowly, it...

What is their core purpose?
