This most amazing photo was taken by Russell Tunny on 25th June 2023 at an event at the retreat.
Russell took this from the front paddock looking up at the house and the southern skies, focusing in on the star ring. The camera and genius operating it did all the work to create this most amazing art piece.
Somehow the house lights captured the magic of the large trees in the foreground. Excellent work Russell...I might get your permission to enlarge it and create a beautiful art piece for the house.
Russell is running night time photography classes if anyone is interested. Just let me know and I can pass his number onto anyone interested.

Had an unlikely visitor turn up yesterday afternoon mid winter. The Diamond Python was close to 1.5 mtrs long. He was in very good condition.
We installed satellite internet yesterday so it's possible the installer may have woken him up out of his hibernation. He was moving very slow towards the forest being hassled by the flitting Superb Blue Wrens.

Dreams come true. Bring it on Australia. We have one of the cleanest air in the populated world

“Sweden has just dealt a severe blow to the globalist climate agenda by scrapping its green energy targets.

In a statement announcing the new policy in the Swedish Parliament, Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson warned that the Scandinavian nation needs “a stable energy system.”

Svantesson asserted that wind and solar power are too “unstable” to meet the nation’s energy requirements.

Instead, the Swedish Government is shifting back to nuclear power and has ditched its targets for a “100% renewable energy” supply.”

Great stuff Sweden. Over to you Australia.

Caught this big boy out again today helping himself to the wild bird mix. Had 2 rock pigeons happy feeding with him before I took this photo.

Flying Qantas to Cairns to spend Christmas 🎄 with my family. Sydney airport is not the place I expected to find a kangaroo but I managed to get a great hug and a photo to wish all our guests and support staff a very merry Christmas and an amazing new year for 2023.

We're very excited for our Locals Sunday Sesh this week as we welcome Yazmindi all the way from Byron Bay. Her sound is best described as Indie Alternative Folk Roots she's super versatile. Not only that, we'll be helping her celebrate the release of her debut Album! You can expect an engaging, uplifting show filled with her raw, honest and tongue in cheek songs that will make you laugh, smile and dance along. See you at 4pm this Sunday Wollombi.
