This trip I want to do some work, but more importantly have time for imagining what it will look like, marking out the house and envisioning the views from the windows, etc. Found another online: h...

At The Farm: More House Improvements
http://benandcorinnesfarm.blogspot.com/2011/09/more-house-improvements.html
By Ben and Corinne. Links We Like and Use. Tuesday, 27 September 2011. So our house is quite old and run down. It has survived many years though, so it must be tough. Like trying to hammer the nails into the floor to sand and polish the floors. We had to use a small sledge hammer and there was a lot of swearing and bruised fingers, the wood is all very old hardwood and almost impossible in some places to hammer a nail into. The old wooden floors, sanded smooth and painted with Cabot’s water based g...

At The Farm: Half a cow
http://benandcorinnesfarm.blogspot.com/2011/09/half-cow.html
By Ben and Corinne. Links We Like and Use. Tuesday, 27 September 2011. The meat quality and taste has been great and we have all the cuts including a lot of mince and sausages. We have also been buying other meat too so we don’t have to have beef every night. 20 kgs of mince, all the rough cuts are turned into mince or sausages. Setting up our table to bag up all the meat into meal sized portions, you need a lot of plastic bags for that much meat. Roasts, we have been turning some of these into billtong.

The dream started out as mostly my dream, to be honest, but Dave seems to have adopted parts of it as his own. I had a test though to make sure I wasn't forcing him into anything so I'm convinced it is something he wants just as much as me (I'll explain that later too). But,. I can't tell Dave's story so I'll just tell mine and if he wants he can add his later.

At The Farm: February 2011
http://benandcorinnesfarm.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
By Ben and Corinne. Links We Like and Use. Sunday, 27 February 2011. Uluru Final - Camels and Rain storms. Here is the last of our Uluru posts. On our drive out to Kata Tjuta we finally spotted some camels. Apparently there are millions of camels (literally) living in central Australia. We had not seen any yet but really wanted to as it is exciting to see such a large wild animal and also Australia is one of the few places in the world that even has wild camels. Early morning light, suspicious camles.
