    Description

    We are a young, energetic, hard working yet laid back family of 4, Mum (Alicia) works off farm as a paramedic. Dad (Chris) works on the dairy farm full time, our daughter Mia who is 6yrs old and our busy 3 year old boy Fletcher.
    Our kids are both bright, bubbly, mostly happy kids who are very inquisitive and busy.
    we have a dog named Banjo, chickens and lots of cows!

    Our hobbies include everything outdoors! Camping, waterskiing, four-wheel driving, snow skiing, beach, fishing. However, with the workload on the farm we don't often get much opportunity to get away.

    Gippsland is a very pretty place with lush green rolling hills and lots of wide open spaces. It is gorgeous place to explore and there are even great places to go for bush walks on the farm, you will see lots of wildlife, kangaroos guaranteed! We live on 800 acres of picturesque farm land where we milk 500 cows and rear cute baby calves (June to Oct).

    Middle Tarwin is a farming area which is 5 min drive from Tarwin Lower or 15min from Meeniyan .
    There is a bus stop in both towns that will take you to the centre of Melbourne. We do most of our shopping in Leongatha or Wonthaggi which is 25min drive away.
