Our hostess Lorraine was a-waiting, and we felt welcomed from the start. We met (briefly) other family members over the next two days.

The place – well, envisage a nice motel-room, with ES – and then, a fully operational kitchen – and then, a living room the size of two and a bit motel rooms – and then, a balcony with a vista. Lovely, quiet; a small community that seemed cheerful … nicely modern, convenient, wonderfully clean. We (a retired couple) only used the bedroom, but other sleeping accommodations can be made, apparently.

Nearby – Elenborough falls – a mildly adventurous (if you never leave tar) drive to the mountains, spectacular vistas along the way – and if you do leave tar, a myriad of farm roads and forestry tracks.

From the balcony – well, wattle-birds dive into the pool and emerge, triumphantly wet; yellow-faced black cockatoos visit, plus many more for a twitcher. At night, kangaroos visit; Eastern greys, swampies, and (I think, whip-tail wallabies). Red-neck wallabies abound in the hills.

It’s easy to envisage spending a week there. I heard chooks, volunteered kitchen-scraps – and was rewarded with some home-grown eggs, which we had scrambled for lunch. Delicious.

And the dog was welcoming, too. Love to stay there again, sometime…
