Social distancing is a breeze at Hunting Ground! We’ve been here for more than two weeks now and this place just never gets boring. We’ll try and share more of our daily experiences, because despite these uncertain times, life is pretty bloody good here on our little patch of Tassie. 👨🏻🤝👨🏼🌾

⚡️Flashback⚡️ It’s our 18th anniversary this week and here we are back when our love was all fresh and new. And fresh faced too! 😊 This was taken just a couple of weeks after we met on a dancefloor at the legendary club 44 in Melbourne. It was love at first sight and the love keeps on flowing to this day. There have been ups and downs, of course, but that’s the ride you sign up for when you share your heart with someone else. 💖 Today we’re on our way to Hunting Ground for some self-isolation, which - despite the fears and challenges of our time - feels like a great opportunity to spend quality time together and reflect on our 18 year journey. 🤝 We hope in these uncertain times that you’re feeling the love in your own way and remembering to value to most important things in life. Take care of yourselves and happy anniversary to us! 💋 xx

Our horse family has expanded! Welcome Monte and Surey the long-necked thoroughbreds. 🐎 Unlike our ponies Selena and Diablo, they’re here for a good time (not a long time) to help keep our grass down. And despite some early horse dramas, they’ve all become good friends.💚

🌳 Big news from Hunting Ground 🌳 After a long dry followed by a good soaking, one of our enormous old trees dropped a great big limb. It crashed right through an old thresher but incredibly didn’t hit the headstones in the cemetery. ☠️ Know an arborist with an interest in ancient eucalyptus viminalis white gum? Please get in touch! #trees #tasmania #nature #photography

It’s clear and cool at Hunting Ground. Our valley, neighbours and animals are thankfully safe and sound. The fire still burns, so we’re staying prepared and thinking of our fire-affected neighbours down the road and the @tasmaniafireservice crews and locals who risked their safety to fight this terrible fire. A humbling end to 2019 and feeling very grateful for what we’ve got.

A bit of a scary night with bushfires a few kms from our place Hunting Ground last night. Packed the car and decided to leave after the police came and advised us to get out. Luckily rain arrived shortly after we left and the fire has now been downgraded to Watch and Act. Driving back this morning after a surreal night away from our special place. Thanks for the messages of concern and support xx

Sorry we haven’t shared many Hunting Ground photos lately, sometimes we like to keep it all to ourselves! Here’s a few shots from our last visit. We love this place. 💚🌾 PS: You can still watch our restoration/build story on ABC iview - search for Restoration Australia. 📺
