This beautiful property had an orchard and Cedar Creek ran along the back boundary of the property. The grass was so lush and we had 10 head of cattle there at one stage.

There was a huge stand of bananas, amongst which grew cherry tomatoes, passionfruit and chokos and the chook pen was behind that. Near that was a huge tamarillo tree with beautiful fruits.

It was a veritable botanical garden, with many different varieties of trees and plants. Some of the fruit trees were lychee, mango, jackfruit, limes, lemons, grapefruit, oranges plus custard apples, tropical apples, jaboticaba and some stonefruit.
A massive brushbox tree, prized for its beautiful timber. This tree had been hit by lightening many years ago and still survives strong and tall today.

The dam had turtles and fish and was a haven for ducks and water birds. The water lillies were beautiful when they were in full flower. Purples and golds amongst all the green.
The creek was a beautiful spot, with tumbled stones and cool water which was very good in Queensland's hot weather. There was around 200m of creek on the back boundary of the farm. After the rains, the creek would 'cleanse' itself with the water flowing very fast from the mountains down towards the sea and you could hear it rushing away.
