- G'day! In this video, we go for a walk around the acreage whilst I chat about what's been happening. I cover some aspects of acreage living, a quick look at the vegetable garden, growing bananas, watching the ducks swim in our duck pond, and listen to the birds of nature sing! Thanks for all your support! :)

You are one fortunate fellow. I hope someday to have a similar lifestyle.
Thanks mate and yes I do feel blessed as it's a wonderful place to wake up to each day. Cheers :)
Not counting the deadly critters you have running around there, you have your own little slice of heaven on earth! Thanks for the bird sounds.
New comment to an old video. I have been to Oz two times. I can confirm that the forest bird song is unique and like no where else, particularly if there is a kook around. I am lucky as I have a multitude of song birds at my place. So many I don't even know the names of all of them, and their song is beautiful, even the owls trill and hoot at dawn and dusk, but the woods in Oz sounds like no where else.
Wow, Love the bird sounds..
Beautiful..
Mark, I really enjoy your videos, please dont stop making them.
Gotta love Australia and the sounds of the bush
Enjoyed the video and sounds of the wildlife. We travel over to hear that ;0)
Thanks David! :)
Envy very much. Enjoy the walk through it inspires to do some projects of my own.
"Winter is coming" I love how widespread that reference is! I use it all the time. Especially since I basically live in the lands around Winterfell. >.>
New season coming soon... LOL
Thats beautiful, the bird song..
That is a nice track, Mark. I'm a village grown boy. If you make it long enough I can turn it on at night and go to sleep. Its sol calm. Its so pity that we live in cities and don't know how a village home sounds like.
I think it sounds great!!!!!
What a good dog. We had a Collie that would never leave the property with the gate open however, we learned to close it because of other untrained dogs coming in. We had to make sure of his safety. You have lovely property.
Loved all the nature sounds 😁
Loved the nature sounds 😊
Always enjoy the walkabout, Mark! Mesmerizing as always! Cheers!
what a beautiful place,it's a blessing to hear the sound of nature in the morning .....thank you for the beautiful video.
Thank you for sharing the sounds in your garden. I really loved hearing that, it was soothing... so many birds and sounds of nature... SO much better than the sounds of the city!
Sounds very good to me, I love every bit of birdsong I can get...
I loved the clip of all the noises and the ducks in the pond. I also giggled at your Game of Thrones reference. I couldn't imagine how different it is living in Australia versus America because I'm terrified of lizards and y'all have big ole things out there but it's very beautiful.
Hey Megan! Our lizards are big alright and even I get scared of them sometimes! Thanks :)
LOVE!!
i would definitely plant some wildflowers outside your front fence, get yourself a beehive. sit back and enjoy some nice honey.
your "unsuccessful" bird recordings were just beautiful, thank you. If you were to put a bench next to your duck pond, it would be a happy place for many bird lovers!! The birds you have frequenting your garden unfortunately are sold over here in huge pet stores, they even come with a credit plan! A cockatoo will go for over € 1ooo, it is very disgusting. You are very lucky to live in a beautiful place such as yours.
your place is so beautiful love your videos
Thank you Gabby! :)
It sounds beautiful. This is the first video of you I have come across and I will be watching alot more. We are currently looking for a property to buy in mount larcom. I hope one day it is just as beautiful as yours
Loved the walk around, and the footage. I don't have water on my block, so no ducks for me... but watching your ducks paddle around, I find myself wishing I did... Thanks for sharing
great update and tour !! it was good to walk around with you and view your whole 3 Acre plot. the sounds, smell and scenery must be sensory experience !! thanks for sharing and happy gardening !!
Thanks for the walk about I enjoyed it much.
It sounds beautiful Mark. I can't wait to have my own acreage
The bird sounds are great!
I know you've done this type of video before, but I just love it when you make another :) Boy oh boy I've planted a lot in our first spring in our new house! Kind of ridiculous. In a few years hopefully we'll have tons of fruit and berries.
Good on you for planting out a heap of veg in your new place I hope your harvest is plentiful! Cheers :)
Awesome videos mate, inspiring! I was at Wheatstone for 3 years and I don't recognise your face! keep the videos coming.
+Matt Parata thanks mate! My wife gave me the shirt she works at Wheatstone I'm a homedad, cheers :)
food grden it.so nice
HI MARK, WE'RE NEARLY NEIGHBOURS. I'M AT CHARTERS AND I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND YOUR PROPERTY LOOKS LOVELY. I'M IMPRESSED WITH YOUR VEGIE PATCH AND GARDENS TOO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
The clip in the middle was more than okay, very good stuff Mark. Keep it up.
Great video. I love the Vlogs. I feel less guilty watching them, because the slower pace allows me to get chores done while I watch! Make more, if they aren't as taxing for you :-)
Hi Ruth! Ok, thanks for the feedback. I'm also considering creating podcast type videos what would you think about that style where I practically voice over about a subject without relying too much on visuals?
Great idea! I like the podcast style UA-cam videos a lot. In a way, they are easier to access than "real" podcasts, because the UA-cam app is so simple and easy to access anywhere, and because I know that my subscription list has "safe" content. -Whereas a lot of podcasts have to be accessed through weird websites or independent blogs. So, I think it's a great idea. I am a busy single Mom of four, who also does permaculture gardening, so I rarely have time to just "sit" and watch a video. That doesn't mean I don't do it--but being able to get chores done while listening, and only watching with "half an eye" is such a good thing for me, because I can be learning, while I'm working, and it takes the monotony and loneliness out of working alone. Your approach to gardening is excellent. I originally started watching you because we had quail (no longer have them) but then I realized that your other videos are fantastic, and that you are a stay-at-home parent (like me) who's spouse isn't always around (so you are parenting solo some of the time.) So, I can relate to some of the ways in which you have to approach your tasks and chores. Thanks for being a favorite of mine. I'm in Washington, D.C. So our climates are different, but many things are still the same :-)
The place is looking lovely Mark.
love yr patter
Lovely...with all of your fruit trees, flowering plants, do you facilitate beekeeping? The early morning clip was delightful and the chickenhooligans, in the leathers puffing on cigs around the spilled feed bin ;D....
Thank you. I keep the bees but my uncle owns the hives and maintains them. I get fruit and veg pollination for free which is a good deal I think! Cheers :)
Awesome mate !
I would so love to live in an environment like yours; minus the venomous sliders and snakes!😉😁
Stupid autocorrect ~~SPIDERS. *sigh*
It is interesting, each of us tolerate certain kind of noises. City people can't tolerate a rooster, yet an airplanes and loud music. I agree natural sounds of animals is appeasing. Now aday people are blasting music on street. Bit to much.
That's very true Yack and I can't stand the constant noise of the city either after living out here at night it's so quiet! Easy to sleep... Cheers :)
Wow! even the ducks and chickens are well behaved :D As @thatpat1 said, get a bench outside, bring a jar of lemonade and a book :)
I was just thinking, a ram pump would be good to keep the the water circulating, oxygenation of the water will keep it useable
Thanks for the look around, enjoyed it. (Not a fan of packs of dogs either...)
Thanks for the feedback Ruth! :)
Do you have problems with spiders and snakes living amongst your vegetables and fruit trees? Love your veranda
on your house. I could sit and watch the ducks all day, you need a bench there.
you have a real special place there
best
I think the four heelers over the way would be a worry to me, four of them are a pack, and if they get out I think they might head straight for the hen run. One of my enduring childhood memories was when a pack of collies descended on the hens. They all perished except Henny Penny a Rhode Island Red who managed to fly on top of the hen house. My farm dogs are never out unless they are in hand, I know that chicken dinner features in the ambition of one of them. He is obedient, but the way he licks his lips around the hens, leads me to believe, given half a chance he would help himself.
Yep it's a bit of a worry alright! Particularly since they don't seem to be able to train dogs...
did you get some new equipment!? footage is fantastic and gorgeously crisp! property looks shmick!
Yes Sasha, I got a GoPro for Christmas! Thank you :)
Beautiful bird songs. Enjoyed it!\
your front lawn is so nice! and is that whip bird always at your place? love its call.
Yes Brandyn that's a whip bird and I love its call too especially on my morning rounds. Cheers :)
Hi..... 🎥👍👍👍
beautiful home, great video. thanks for sharing and the inspiration. love your dog. I am in zone 8b 9 A zone..considering Jerusalem artichokes? do they do well? Been concerned of my heat index for them.
Thank you! Jerusalem artichokes can be grown in most climates but if you live in cold climate plant them early after last frosts to get maximum growth before next winter hits - give them a go! :)
wish we had bird noises like that in NZ, you can walk through the bush and not hear a single living thing for hours, i believe 1080 poison is to blame.
1080... Is that right? I didn't take much notice of the birds when I visited NZ but I loved those big bumble bees you guys have over there - beautiful little creatures. Cheers :)
Can you do a VDO on Scooter?
If I may ask, what is your longitude and latitude? I'm in Canada and let me tell you, we have winter (down to -40C.)
he probably not far from me, bit further north, but I don't think he will say exactly
I wouldn't say where I lived . So, I don't blame him........... but he did live Kedron Queensland 4031 Australia. You can google map the general area if your curious of climate, and the city
I'm guessing roughly 27° S and 153°E :-) Florida type climate
Davilia7, thanks a bunch. I at the north end of the States meaning I wouldn't be able to grow many of what we just saw but, I'll bet my snowman making skills are better.
You have a beautiful property. I have 3 acres in Florida and I find that amount of land to be just right. Large enough to do most things but not too big to manage. I am in a small holding subdivision similar to yours where neighbors are near but not right on top of you. This is an excellent arrangement. If there is an emergency you are not far out in the bush with no one near by. You also have pavement right to your property. You have an excellent situation.
The clip was okay. But if that was the best of what you got it probably wouldn't have been with posting the full video.
I will take the dogs any day - neighbours cats are my pet hate 😕
Brend, years ago my neighbors dog rip through 3 chicken wire fences and killed 60 of my chickens. He paid for the loss but I never had chickens again.
