Description
Liz and Chris live on an 11 acre property on the Blackwood River. We have just moved to the area called Jalbarragup (25 minutes south of Nannup) in June 2023. We have a WEED that is a small tree called Acacia and we are on a mission to eradicate it. We need your help. Also setting up a vege garden and there may be some other gardening that is required. We also ned to clean up the falling branches and leaves that are a fire jazzers. We live right on the Blackwood River. Lots of nature - possums, kangaroos, birds and wildflowers.
We also have 4 ducks and a drake, plus a small duckling. Also you will get to meet Ginger the Red Heeler puppy who is learning some manners.
We are on the river, so there is a couple of kayaks you can use to enjoy the scenery.
