After
nearly ten years at Fourth Crossing
we have made the move further north to Middle Farm which is in the
Northern Tablelands of NSW.
Middle
Farm is part of a 400 acre property which is a citizens wildlife
refuge.
The
habitat is mainly grassland (farm land) with segments of dry sclerophyll
forests where kangaroos and wallabies rest by day.
The
climate is mainly temperate, reaching as low as -10 degrees celsius
in the winter months and rising to the low thirties in summer.
Wildlife
is abundant and includes marsupials such as Koalas,
Bare-Nosed Wombats, Eastern
Grey Kangaroos, Swamp Wallabies
and Wallaroos. Not far
up the road are also Brush-Tailed
Rock Wallabies!
Bird
species include Noisy Minors,
Magpies, visiting Satin
Bowerbirds, Crested Pigeons,
Eastern Rosellas, Galahs,
Butcherbirds, Wedge-Tailed Eagles,
Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos and more.
Middle
Farm is neighbouring a National Parks and Wildlife administered
area and there are many wildlife corridors on the property and surrounding
it for ease of movement for the animals.
The
farm is also very close to lots of other wonderful National Parks
- it is a real pleasure to live the wildlife here!
