After 2 nights in Maldon we headed across to central Victoria to stay with friends of the family- John and Judy Thomson who live on a farm between Seymour and Euroa. We had a lovely time with John and Judy and they looked after us so well. We got to see around their farm, meet their pet sheep Cindy, and see the dorper sheep they run on their property. These sheep are for their meat, and they shed their wool/hair so don't need shearing. It is quite flat leading up to their property then you head up the hill and get lovely views across the plains. We had a fantastic time staying with John and Judy.
The view from their house.
Cindy the pet sheep, who wanders around the yard near the house and is a bit like a pet dog!
John, Pam and Judy- we went for a wander along the creek bed.
They used to have a small creek running through their property which runs usually 8 months of the year. In January 2016 they got 100mm of rain in 2 hours which turned their creek into a raging torrent 25 meters wide and 4 meters deep- it wash away lots of soil and sand and left them with a pretty amazing gully that runs through their property, John took me walking and rock hoping up the creek bed- was a great walk.
The house that John built- pretty amazing man and what he can do! John always told mum that he wouldn't come to her funeral unless she came for a visit, so she had been for her visit- so a seat will be reserved!
