The headlands refer to the area around the crop and farm boundaries. Follow the headlands along the seasonal creek, through organic bananas and advocados, along the edge of rainforest and through an avenue of trees. Casper, the farm dog, may come and say hello but he is very friendly. We also currently have chickens and baby chicks on the farm. More animals will be added as we build the farm. There are lots of little area to explore; see a scrub hen's nest, swim in the seasonal creek. Other things to note We provide milk for the first day. Sitting on the deck is great for viewing birds, butterflies, insects, wallabies and sometimes a glimpse of a cassowary. It's quiet at night and with very low light pollution here, you can see the stars and at times vivid sunsets behind the mountains.
