About the host
Hosted by John Davey
Father was born here; I grew up on the neighbouring farm. I took over managing the farm in 1969 before selling in 1983. My wife Sarah & I bought the property back in 2005.
Why they chose this property
I wanted to return to the river, the trees and the house that I built in 1976.
What makes this property unique
My brothers, sisters & I grew up in these hills, building huts, making dams in the creeks and cutting tracks along the banks. We loved the river and the trees.
Wife Sarah and I enjoy the garden, watching the trees change, and the birds that make their home here.
