Turns out you can build quite a bit when you’re too tight to throw anything away. 😂

It’s been a big team effort this week.

Hallie - chief pliers and wire holder. Not one bit interested in my grand vision, but very interested in securing a buggy ride as payment. 🚜

Treasure - absolute champion. If you weren’t interested, you deserve an Oscar because you certainly acted like you were. Morale boosting is an underrated skill. 😂🥰

Lily - technically our nanny, but somehow gets roped into most projects around here. Very artistic. Very patient. Questionable judgement in agreeing to help me. 🏆😂

We’re pretty excited with how it’s all coming together and not at all patient about showing off the finished result.

We’d love to tell you all about tonight’s sunset.

Unfortunately, there appears to be a slight distraction in the foreground.

We’ll try again tomorrow.

After I get a test drive. 😜

Guess what?

We’ll be closing from tomorrow due to the rain forecast!

Twice in one month. TWICE.

After a few pretty decent years, the taps turned off around October and things have been getting drier by the week.

So seeing rain on the forecast still feels a bit like finding money in an old jacket pocket.

We’re certainly not complaining. (Yes, I know. Unheard of from a farmer. 😂)

At this stage we’re planning to reopen Friday, provided Mother Nature doesn’t get too enthusiastic and turn our access road into a slip and slide.

If you’re travelling this week, keep an eye on road conditions and stay safe.

As for us, we’ll be happily watching the rain gauge, pretending not to check it every twenty minutes, and messaging the neighbours to see if they’ve had more than us.

A quick guide to whether Carinya is your sort of place:

Do you need a camp kitchen, green grass and neighbours close enough to borrow a cup of sugar?

Probably not for you.

Do you enjoy a campfire, a bit of dust, a sky full of stars and enough room to forget what day it is?

Now we’re talking.

We’re a working farm in western NSW.

Not everyone gets it.

And that’s OK.

Our people do.

We are Carinya.

You never know when your moment will come.

One day you’re just a big old dried up cow poo in the paddock minding your own business…

The next you’re a critical piece of farm infrastructure.

Life comes at you fast.

(This almost feels like my life) 😂

People spend a lot of time chasing happiness.

We’ve narrowed it down to a fairly random list:

✔ Rain

✔ Decent coffee

✔ Full dams

✔ Really funky sock savers 😜

✔ Calves

✔ Campfires

✔ Guests who don’t mind a bit of dust

✔ Finding the TV remote

We have more luck finding feral pigs than the TV remote. True story.

We are Carinya.
