A New Adventure Looms

Image
The winds of change are blowing and a new adventure looms  Off the Grid on Kangaroo Island Starting March 2019 Note the button grass land outside of the fenced garden - no mowing. Four different types of grapes Join our adventure as we move into our new home March 2019 with an existing off the grid solar system, a solar hot water system and 95,000 litres of water. Graham has plans to upgrade the solar system and I thought it would be interesting to document the solar upgrade and life off the grid.  Stay tuned. Current Solar Info: ·        Capacity is 830 Amp Hours ·        20 KW Storage ·        Uses 20-25% under heavy load ·        Panels are 2.4KW ·        Maximum output 1600 Watts continuous ·        5000 Watts on Surge ...

Replacing the Fence

Image
The yard fencing was tired and needed replacing.  Time for Graham to work his magic.  His vision... log posts and a new shape to the yard. After drawing up plans, Graham ordered the supplies, and hired Tony Ingram to dig the post holes (as we live in limestone country) and bring fresh soil for the new orchard area.

Once the fence was done, it was time to start of the orchard Building up retaining walls for the new mini orchard  and then filling it with new soil.  Adding branches for a decorative wind break, which the birds love!

Graham and Julie’s Camping Adventure The Flinders Ranges - Part 1 - Wilpena Pound

April 2024 - Finally, our first real holiday since moving to Kangaroo Island.  A camping trip in our 'new to us' caravan, affectionately known as “The Geist” (Which means free spirit, and we say it with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent as it is European.)   When our nephew Callan and his partner Melinda heard we’d decided on the Flinders Ranges, they planned to join us. We’ve always enjoyed their company when visiting, but had no idea how much fun and laughter we would enjoy with them on this trip.  We were starting at the  Wilpena Pound Resort  on Adnyamathanha Country. Wilpena Pound or Ikara (meeting place) is of cultural and spiritual significance to the Adnyamathanha people, who have lived here for 15,000 years. I’ll put in links where I can for those who want to see more about the spots we’ve visited.  Although from above it looks like a crater, it’s actually a natural amphitheatre, and was called a “pound” as the shape lent itself to naturally con...
