Meet Hudson. 🐮🩶

Before Goldie had even delivered this little bloke, his name had already been decided.

If we got a heifer, she would be Kate.

If we got a bull, he would be Hudson.

Why?

Well, his mum is Goldie.

Goldie Hawn's daughter is Kate Hudson.

Kate. Hudson.

There was simply no other responsible naming decision available to us. 😂

And after making a rather dramatic assisted entrance into the world, it was Hudson who joined the Bliss Valley herd.

Tiny. Brand new. Finding his feet.

And blissfully unaware that his entire identity was determined by a Hollywood family tree. 🐮🩶

Welcome to the world, Hudson.

MEET THE RESIDENT 🐮

This is KeeKoo, baby heifer of KimChi and quite possibly the easiest member of the nursery to identify from approximately three paddocks away.

Our current crop of babies has delivered black calves. Dark brown calves. More black calves. A few more dark brown calves...

And then KimChi produced this.

KeeKoo, in all her silver, brindly splendour, apparently missed the memo regarding the herd's preferred colour palette.

While the other babies have mastered the art of blending into one adorable dark little mob, KeeKoo can generally be spotted from a mile away looking like somebody accidentally adjusted the saturation.

Subtle, she is not.

Beautiful? Absolutely.

And with a name like KeeKoo and a mum called KimChi, she was probably never destined to be ordinary anyway. 😂

A little blurry-as-anything sneak peek before the great poult release. 🦃

And there's your useless-but-now-you'll-remember-it fact for the day.

Baby turkeys are called poults.

These little poults are currently awaiting transfer from their temporary pet-crate accommodation into their growing pen, blissfully unaware that we're all staring at them thinking, LOOK AT THE BABIES.

And because turkeys apparently refuse to be biologically normal, here's another fun one...

A turkey's head can change colour.

As they become excited, stressed or start showing off, blood flow to the bare skin of the head and neck changes, shifting it through shades of red, white and blue.

Our tiny poults aren't quite at full dramatic turkey mode yet.

For now, they're mostly concentrating on being ridiculously cute and pooping in their accommodation.

Nature is majestic. 😂

Organisation is clearly not a prerequisite for family outings. 🪿

There is, somewhere in the English language, an expression about having one's ducks in a row.

The geese have heard of it.

They have chosen not to participate.

Instead, the family moves across the paddock using an ancient and highly sophisticated navigational system known as “everyone just follow whoever looks like they know where they're going.”

Remarkably, they all seem to arrive at roughly the same place eventually.

No formation. No urgency. No apparent leadership structure.

Just geese, doing goose things.

Nature is magnificent. And occasionally very poorly organized. 😂

MEET THE RESIDENT 🐊

This week's resident doesn't technically live on the farm.

Although we're fairly certain he hasn't read the property boundaries.

Living and farming in FNQ means sharing the landscape with some pretty incredible wildlife, including the saltwater crocodiles that can occasionally be spotted from our River Paddock.

It's one of those moments that really drives home where we live. This isn't a croc behind glass. This is a wild animal, doing exactly what wild animals have been doing in these waterways long before Bliss Valley was Bliss Valley.

It also means we have a responsibility to think ahead.

High tides require a little extra mindfulness around the River Paddock and our livestock. The cows can't exactly read the signs telling everyone to stay back from the water's edge, so we have to provide the common sense on their behalf.

We watch the river. We watch the tides. We keep an eye on the animals. And we never forget that this beautiful stretch of water is habitat, not just scenery.

Because farming beside a crocodile-inhabited river is pretty bloody special.

It just comes with a few neighbors you don't pop over and introduce yourself to. 🐊

Meet the winged bean. Tropical overachiever extraordinaire. 🌱

Winged beans absolutely thrive in warm, humid conditions, which means FNQ is basically their preferred operating system. Heat? Humidity? Rain? Excellent. Carry on.

And simply producing a bean wasn't enough for Psophocarpus tetragonolobus.

Almost the entire bloody plant is edible.

Young pods? Edible.
Leaves? Edible.
Flowers? Edible.
Young shoots? Edible.
Mature seeds? Edible.
Even the tuberous roots? Yep. Edible.

Most vegetables turn up with one useful body part and call it a day.

The winged bean apparently felt the need to show off.

Here at Bliss Valley, it's found the tropical conditions it loves and is happily getting on with the business of being unnecessarily useful. 😂🌱

* 4 seats left* TWO YEARS FROM NOW, WILL YOU STILL BE HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION?
Is there something you keep saying you want to do — but somehow never quite do?
Maybe it’s a big change: a different career, starting a business, writing a book, improving a relationship, changing where or how you live.
Or maybe it’s much smaller.
You’ve wanted to start dancing again for years. Learn something new. Make art. Get fitter. See your friends more. Grow vegetables. Travel somewhere. Finish something you started.
Nothing dramatic.
But it matters to you.
And somehow, another year goes by.
If it matters to you, why isn’t it happening?
That question sits at the heart of The Two-Year Pivot, a new program I’ve been developing about how we actually change the direction of our lives — whether the change we want is enormous or seemingly tiny.
Instead of another round of goal-setting, we’ll look underneath the goal.
What are you paying attention to? What do you actually value? What do you expect? What does your environment make easier or harder? What patterns keep reproducing the life you already have?
And, crucially:
Where is the leverage that could actually change it?
I’m starting a small FREE founding group next Wednesday, 23 September at 7 pm AEST, online. 8 Wednesday evenings in a row.
We’ll work through the Two-Year Pivot together over the following weeks. You’ll use your own life and your own desired changes as the material, and your feedback will help me refine the program before I release it more widely.
You don’t need a life crisis.
You don’t need a five-year plan.
You just need something that matters to you that isn’t happening yet.
See the structure. Find the leverage. Change the course.
I have a few places left.
If you’d like to join us, send me a private message with your email address.
Starts Wednesday 23 September | 7 pm AEST | Online | Free See less

The Two-Year Pivot: Turn Your Life Toward What Matters
You can probably feel where the next few years are heading.
Not dramatically. Just that quiet sense that if nothing changes, you already know roughly where you'll be standing in two years, five years, even ten — and it isn't quite the life you can feel is possible.
I've spent the last few months turning forty years of working with people through change into a journal and an eight-week process.
And I've made a decision.
Rather than spend the next couple of weeks frantically marketing it, I want real people in the room.
So I'm opening 8 places free of charge for the first founding cohort.
For eight weeks we'll meet once a week online and work through the material together. I'll help you identify the gap between where your life is heading and where you actually want it to go, and we'll work on turning that trajectory deliberately.
You get me, personally, working with you on your life for eight weeks.
I get something equally valuable: the chance to see what works, what doesn't, what is confusing, what creates a genuine shift, and what needs changing before I publish and eventually sell this work.
So this isn't a free sample. You're helping build the thing.
We begin the week of 19 September 2026. I haven't set the day yet because I want to work that out with all of you .
If you're interested, message me here or email me at [email protected]. You don't need to make a grand commitment in the first message. Just tell me you're interested and we'll talk.
