25 acres, right on top of the great divide. Beautiful views. Magestic stars, sunrise , moon rise . Excellent view of the planets. Organic fig orchard, fresh figs December to March. Property is fully off grid . Close to Aborigibal rock paintings and beautiful walk. Peaceful land, abundant kangaroos, a few wombats , lots of birds Over the last 20+years, along with raising a family I have tried to bring this land back to a healthier state, no hoofed animals except the kids horses.for many years I had an alpaca stud, soft footed animals that are great for hyper active kids. I have dabbled in permaculture, biodynamics, organic farming etc. decades of drought, then fires then now flooding and storms has taken its toll. I am fully off grid and upgrading my system. I lost my vegie garden during the drought, but now trying to reestablish it. I am aware of the special significance of the Aboriginal presence of the area. With the funds from the camping I am trying establish camps for the Wiradjuri people to regain their knowledge and culture.Pitch your tent or park your van on top of the great divide. A short walk to the water shed. Where one side the water drains to the Pacific Ocean, step a metre and the water drains to Adelaide. The view during the day and the stars at night is what always gets a reaction from visitors. Sit around the fire and enjoy the energy of the land. Feel the ancient history.
