The farmhouse accommodation is centrally located on our farm with a large variety of fruit trees nearby. Quiet at night unless you can't sleep because of the wallabies or the rooster crowing in the morning. Nestled in a valley the orchards are surrounded by bush land. Great walks to our dam and our upper orchard. Want to talk to the owners and find out more about the great place we live and love ; well we are here most times.

My wife Ann and myself were looking for a nice place to start another life. To help us find this beautiful place we did a lot of sailing around Sydney and offshore as well. These skills were to prove very useful when we went exploring. In 1990 we set sail from Sydney and sailed as far north as Mooloolaba,Queeensland looking for our dreamplace. Although the north coast of Australia was very beautiful we thought it might be too hot in summer. So turning around we headed south and crossed Bass Straight for Tasmania, arriving in St. Helens on Easter Friday 1991. I think right from the start we thought this would be a good place to settle down. This led to our next challenge. What could we do to make a living? Whilst this is a most beautiful place to live it didn’t seem to have much in the way of employment for someone with my qualifications. So it was with these thoughts in our mind that we decided to go into farming. At the time we only had city perceptions as to what this could mean but optimism and naivety have in our case gone a long way to making us overcome many obstacles.

We are quite close to the Scamander township but with this unique position we are not surrounded by other houses. The Scamander river is quite close and likewise the beaches. There are several eating spots in the township including the Sports Complex where golf, tennis and bowls are played.
