Just three kilometres out of Berry is Hollaback Farm.

I spent a week with Craig and David at their beautiful home on the hill.

The house is a nearly finished vewry contemporary new build, with beautiful interiors and amazing views down the valley to Berry.

Along with the house, they are also doing a great job starting a farm, with angus cattle


and dauber sheep for grass cutters!
One of the small jobs was putting up fencing around the citrus and advacardo trees

Removing the poisonous fire weed from the paddocks


and splitting wood - with the pneumatic splitter on the tractor.

Although the winds roll up the hill, it was a great spot to admire the view

whilst working

It was great to see the colours inside the logs

However, some pieces had residents, from witchetty grubs

to snakes!

The splitter was good, and actually made it enjoyable, and not back breaking!

and then loaded into the trailer
