The front gates to the farm on Galls Gap Road, Strathbogie. This was the last photo that I took of the farm, as Susan’s parents had sold up and were in the process of moving back to Melbourne.
A mid-week trip out to Lilydale Lake. The Guides had arranged a canoeing session for their year-end break-up, and they had a perfect night for it. A group of Australian, or Eurasian Coots (Fulica atra) came over to check out their new floating buddies.
Looking down to the Sandy Flat and the Seven Creeks from the Track. The Sandy Flat is pock-marked by rabbit burrows and is reached by it’s own steep track.
The track winds around the side of the Big Rock Paddock in the Track Paddock. The track was carved out of the hill side with a few patches scraping over solid rock. At the paddock end it comes through a tunnel of wattle saplings.
The gorge that the Seven Creeks run through on the farm – forming the back boundary.
This is the gorge that the Seven Creeks runs through at the back of the farm. The gorge is between the Polly McQuinns Weir and the Gooram Falls.
Mt Wombat dominates this landscape panorama of the front paddocks of the farm back in June 2013.

A final early morning view of the Yarra Valley from 2013 with a hot air balloon peeking over the ridge.
Another naturally sepia-toned morning landscape in the Yarra Valley from 2013. Power lines and a lone street light show that we aren’t far from suburbia.
The misty early morning light gave us a lovely sepia effect. A hot air balloon peeks out from behind the trees in the Yarra Valley landscape back in 2013.
