A little reminder from a small business in the outbackโ€ฆ

You donโ€™t always have to spend money to support a small business.

Every booking, recommendation, comment, share and follow matters more than most people realise. It helps more people discover places like ours and keeps small businesses visible in an increasingly busy online world.

Most small businesses donโ€™t have huge advertising budgets. We grow because people choose to support us, talk about us and share our story with others.

In many cases, theyโ€™ve been built from the ground up by people wearing a s**t tonne of hats to make the magic happen. ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

Whether youโ€™ve stayed with us, soaked in the bathhouse, sat around a campfire under the stars, joined an art class, attended a wellbeing session, purchased an original painting or a little something from our farm shop, or simply enjoy following along from afar. THANK YOU.

If you enjoy what we do, one of the best ways you can support us is by following our page, engaging with our posts, leaving a review, recommending us to friends, or sharing your experience. Do this for all businesses you love ๐Ÿ’•

It might seem like a small thing, but it genuinely makes a difference.

Weโ€™re incredibly grateful for every booking, every kind word and every person who chooses to be part of our journey.

Thank you for supporting small business, regional communities and the Australian outback. Without your support, businesses like ours simply wouldnโ€™t exist. ๐ŸคŽ

๐Ÿซฃ Also we need to fit in a family photo god knows how old that one is ๐Ÿคฃ

If youโ€™re anywhere near Louth on Saturday the Field Day is a super day out, and with roads open the full length of the Darling River Run thereโ€™s no excuse.

Culminating in a huge auction to aid the Royal Flying Dr Service itโ€™s certainly worth getting your skates on to be there.

Why not make it a trip and stay at an Outback Beds property.

Trilby Station is right near at the action of the field days

More Baby Spam

This girl was on her own earlier a sign she was ready to drop ๐Ÿ

Went for an esmay to catch her literally giving birth to the second baby. I was too busy fapping my gums to John about finding her that I wasnโ€™t quick enough to film it.

However these pair literally are hot off the press!! Possibly more to come I donโ€™t know I didnโ€™t want to disturb her.

No idea what they are yet either. We can only get close to a couple of mums as they are pets the rest have a purpose ๐Ÿซฃ

How bloody cute are they!!! Looks like one possibly has a black headโ€ฆ?

Everyoneโ€™s a winner ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅ‡

Well, it turns out twin boys were the surprise nobody saw coming! ๐Ÿ˜„

A big thank you to everyone who took part in our little guessing game. It was so much fun reading through all your predictions, and we loved having you all along for the ride.

Since no one specifically guessed twin boys, we thought weโ€™d give a shout-out to those who guessed twins. If that was you, please send me your mailing address and Iโ€™ll send you a Meralda Cap as thank you.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone for your support, excitement, kind messages, and for sharing in this special moment with us even tho the kids are always telling me no one wants to watch this sorta stuff mum ๐Ÿคฃโค๏ธ

Thanks guys fans

OK!!! Sparkles SPAM ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

She has given birth to not one boy, but TWO boys!

They are so cute, and sheโ€™s doing an amazing job. Sheโ€™s absolutely loving her little goat pellet Uber deliveries ๐Ÿšš and lapping up all the extra attention. As far as Sparkles is concerned, motherhood is a 5-star experience here ๐Ÿคช

Meanwhile, Claire and Peppa have both dropped sets of twins today all girls! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• Itโ€™s been a very busy day in the maternity ward, and the kidding season conveyor belt shows no signs of slowing down. Poncho is officially a keeper!

Our quads mum is unfortunately down to three babies. John had to step in with the fourth little one, who was deformed through the hips or spine and had no movement in his back legs. Whether it happened during birth or he was born that way, weโ€™ll never know. Having four bubbas is ultra-rare & a struggle.

One of the remaining little ones is a bit on the small side and may need supplementary feeding, just the extra thing I need in my day ๐Ÿ˜… Weโ€™re keeping a close eye on his or her progress. Unfortunately, we can only get close to the pet goats and their babies, so the others prefer to keep their distance. Sheโ€™s not a petโ€ฆ so very hard to get to them.

Now, back to the important job the winner of the โ€œHow Many Babies Is Sparkles Going to Have?โ€ competition. ๐Ÿคฏ

Nobody picked twin boys.

There were a couple of guesses for twin girls and one guess for a boy and a girl, So Iโ€™ll need to put my thinking cap on and work out what to do there.

As I type this, John is out on the tractor working over some clay pans while the ground is finally a bit softer after the recent moisture.

And thatโ€™s farm report for today.

Over and out. ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ

How lucky was Iโ€ฆ ๐Ÿฅฐ

I got home and headed straight down to the paddock to check on Sparkles, who I honestly thought would have kidded a week ago. Instead, I arrived just in time to find her in the middle of labour! ๐Ÿ’•

Bella and I got to sit and watch her bring her beautiful bubba(s) into the world. Such a special moment. ๐Ÿโœจ

How many do we think she ended up with? ๐Ÿค” Iโ€™ll go through the winners list soon!

She is such a good mumma. โค๏ธ
Mumma of the quads is also doing amazing!

๐Ÿฅ Drum Roll ๐Ÿฅ

I owe Poncho an apology for calling him Dudley ๐Ÿซฃ

Heโ€™s finally proved heโ€™s not just standing around looking handsome. ๐Ÿ™Œ

One of our girls dropped 4 kids ๐Ÿคฏ

Thatโ€™s right. FOUR.

Weโ€™ve never had quadruplets drop before.

We only found two babies with her last night, so weโ€™re hoping the other two were somewhere in the dark having a kip.

If all four survive, Mum is going to have her work cut out for her. Two teats, four hungry mouths, and absolutely no annual leave available will be havoc to her body. We may have to nab 1-2 of them ๐Ÿคจ

As for Sparkles, she still hasnโ€™t produced a single baby yet ๐Ÿคช But after Ponchoโ€™s latest effort, maybe weโ€™ve all been underestimating his contribution to the gene pool.

Those playing the Sparkles Baby Count Competition may wish to submit revised entries immediately. ๐Ÿคฃ
