Scanning the ewes today. They're at about 168%, there should be lots of lovely lambs starting around the end of August.
We've actually already got some very early lambs on the farm already. We gave last year's dry ewes (the one that weren't in lamb) another chance and about 30 of them are having their lambs now. In very sheltered areas in case you're worried.

Good morning sunshine. Dewdrops on spiderweb and a birdnest on a fencepost.

We've got a bulldozer on the farm at the moment. It's clearing lines so we can put in fences around the newest areas of bush that we will be putting into QEII reserves.

Looking out of the entrance of one of our caves and two beautiful cave weta. Female with a long ovipositor on the left and male on the right. The ovipositor is the long spike on the back end and is used to lay eggs (not a sting 😉).
Cave weta are mostly herbivore and the scariest thing they do is jump when scared.
