Now that's an Aussie bushland right there! Sounds like your becoming well established.
I have just moved to the heart of the Mallee and we are fortunate to have 2 sides of the fence surrounded by open bushland! We are not quite ready for the Landcaping. We are still in reno mode and fixing up the house!
Great to see you investing the time with the little fella and he's loving it! These are the life skills I learnt at a young age (basic crop growing and agriculture) and spent many years in the city longing to be back where some of my fondest memories formed with my Grandfather.
