I took Mr Woof on a bit longer walk today.
We found the neighbours who I've been hearing yelling a lot in the distance.
There are some really nice parks around here. They have retained all the old trees that were in the original paddocks and put native plantings around them, and there are a string of ponds that I assume were originally farm dams. There are also a few kid's play areas, sports areas and outdoor gym equipment. The park area runs along the side of the new estate, so at the moment you are looking out over farm paddocks as well. We saw lots of kangaroos, which is definitely not something I was coming across on my walks in Melbourne.
I'm hoping I can get fully remote with this job because that view looks amazing and I'm keen as hell to get out that way
Same. Would love to live amongst fresh air and views, but having to work means canโt do that. Maybe retirement!
