New Arrivals


Last week 30th May. a new bull calf was born, a magnificent species, very stroppy looking little fellow. We try to avoid having little ones born in the colder month and the other two cows/heifer should be due in early spring, our sheep are due at around the same time. The Deer will have their fawns in December/January as usual.

Winter Time "it's good to relax"


One Stag and one Venison
Winter is the most busy time in the garden and Cely is flat out digging and planting. Cely maintains a beautiful flower Garden and also a quite substantial Veggie patch. We also planted around 100 Olive trees and had the immediate task of fencing it in, as the pottaroos gone strait on the attack and started to ring bark the young trees. It be nice to look forward to producing our own Olive Oil, with Extra Virgin Olive Oil grown in an totally chemical free environment being something to crow about. At a later stage our Guest may be able to purchase 250 and 500ml Bottles of the finest organic Oil. We just planted some Goji and blue berries, thy are very well suited for the temperate Tasmanian weather.
The green House is also used for a constant supply of wheat grass, which also was discovered by a large Family of blue Wren now using it for their own health trip, clever little Birdies. The green House houses also the infrared Sauna for a totally relaxing experience. If the weather is a bit rotten you can also use it to cook your BBQ there.

Magnificent four seasons in beautiful Tasmania


May/Otober at Quamby Pines; What a magnificent bit of rain we had, "THANKS LORD", our dam is chocka block full again, I don't mind telling you, this is lovely and good news for keeping the grass lush and green. The Platypus or should I say Platypuses are quite active at the moment and seem to enjoy the full dam as well , the trout is also active again and waiting for these keen anglers. The cold weather also brought a flock of yellow crested cockatoo's to our place, I don't know for how long they booked in? The swallows have their first babys flying around. The lovely bumble bees are a pleasure to watch.
Miniature Hereford's calfing calendar for the next few month May, Milky is due (had a cute little Bull calf) August/September should be the time for Amy and December to have their calf's. Our little fawns are not so little anymore and are nearly fully grown.
Our Roses and Lupins are flowering and I don't mind telling it looks absolutely marvelous, really words cant describe the beauty of it. The Wonder's of CREATION are never ending and Quamby Pines is the perfect place to observe it, just look at the picture of harmony.
