sqm = sq miles? We don't have a huge block by OZ standards. Might feel like a poor relation

It's a few lavenders - sort of test patch. Made the classic mistake of fencing in about half an acre of the paddock beside the house. Now we got a big garden. Roundup is a wonderful thing. Here are some more pics. Originally Posted by HappyHammer

I have 40 acres of granite rock with grass and trees between.
400 meters frontage to the Murrumbidgee with swimming holes deeper than me.
A set of rapids to lay back in.
Up the top of the block is a flattish area with wall to wall views.
Snow in winter.
Planning to build. (almost to submission to council).

11 acres in nestled in the base of the Cobaw Ranges, great northerly aspect. The ranges are to the east and north. Views to Mt. Macedon.
Damned cold too. Well for Australia. We get frosts down to -5 on occasions. Doesn't quite snow.Photo Gallery

I have the rotary hoe pictured, a 4 ft slasher, post hole digger, 9 tine plough and i have my eye on a 10 disc disc seeder to cut in half for seeding the paddocks so to speak :P
