A secret healing place
The Old Quarry

Virid: bright green
Our farmhouse was built from stone quarried on the property by early South Australian settlers in the middle of the 19th century.. There are views from the old quarry down to the Great Southern Ocean. It is just a 5-minute walk along a gully lined with ancient almond trees, olives and thorny acacia. Those lucky enough to inhabit the silence of this magical place for a while gradually become aware of small birds such as blue wrens, silvereyes and red-browed finches, flitting from bush to bush. Kangaroos live there too and I have occasionally seen an echidna busily foraging amongst the grasses.
