A note from the owners:
Our family have loved living in the peaceful surrounds of the Mandurang Valley. Having all that Bendigo offers conveniently located within 10 to 15 minutes drive has given us the best of country and city life. The fertile soil and the availability of dam and tank water has enabled us to establish vegetable, fruit tree and flowering gardens. Everyday we enjoy watching and hearing the large variety of native birds that
visit our gardens, paddocks, Sheepwash Creek and adjoining native forest.
