Moved into the Country Shack!

Finally we are settled into our home and farm in Tamleugh, Victoria. Its bloody amazing, refreshing, liberating. So at peace here. Every time i drive the 30 mins to Shepparton or 19 to Violet Town, i have to pinch myself, the scenery and vibe is so gorgeous.

And yes, the night skies are very impressive, jaw dropping with no moon. Cant quantify it until i get my logging sqm installed. But the 'grin like a 5yo on a train ride' meter is maxxed out here!

This pic is a hint of whats possible, taken in quarter moon conditions. Details in Flickr.
