I live on a 10-acre property at Greenbank,
on the southern outskirts of Brisbane. My large home has wide verandahs
and high ceilings that make living very comfortable...even in our hot climate!
I enjoy entertaining and eating outdoors most of the year round, and also
appreciate a long, cool drink on the front verandah as the sun goes down
and the kookaburras 'laugh' in the gum trees. I've taken some photographs
of my home that you might like to see.
The wildlife on the property is fascinating, and the birds, in particular,
provide non-stop entertainment from dawn 'til dusk. Although I see flocks
of cockatoos, galahs, parrots and lorikeets every day of the year, I can't
resist taking the time (again!) to watch their antics and admire their
plumage. Of course, the wildlife interest factor continues on after dusk,
when the green tree-frogs, cane toads, owls and fruit bats appear to find
their night's supply of food. Even dingoes prowl not far from the property,
but the fences keep them out, so they cause no problems. I won't mention
the snakes in any great detail!
The domestic animals include two German Shepherds, a cow, and chickens.
The dogs are called Benson and Anka (from the same litter), and are two
years old. |
