Here’s a showcase of another homestead (apart from my own) for you to enjoy. This 2.5 acre property is owned by my sister and brother-in-law who are in the process of transforming a blank canvas into a self-sufficient backyard farm.

Lovely video. TYVM… If I had a garden like that I would have given my bro-in-law 3 pieces of corn and at least 50kg of zucchini..:) Great garden, always nice to see how the other half lives. The water storage may amaze non-aussie viewers but Toowoomba was very hard hit in Australia's 10 year drought. A rural property like that was never guaranteed water and probably off pipeline so many non-city australians had to start harvesting their own water resources. That whole subdivision looks fairly new and the residents look like folk who know the value of harvesting rainwater…. Way to go.. Do not be dependent, be independent… that is at the heart of self-sufficiency… Cheers..
Wow! What a beautiful homestead, and I would love to know more about a water system like the one they have. I really enjoyed seeing their garden and orchard. Thank you, Sheila
Nice property Mark , Looks really nice .
Wow. He has trained the kids to come to a whistle! LOL
Looks great! This was a fun video.
hi Mark really enjoyed that what a stunning property. Would love to see more 🙂
why did he take the entire basil plant instead of just cutting it back?
What is Lucerne? I wish we could grow olives and avocados!
Does anyone fence off their property other than just their gardens? Great video and beautiful, abundant property.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get so jealous about your climate! Enjoyed watching this, thank you.
I have the same issue with rabbits but not so much with the kangaroos. LOL. Very nice garden in a few years when the orchid matures it is going to be spectacular.
I just love the GSD. Reminds me of my collie x GSD I used to have, she was my best sheepdog. Mark you could try picking your mangoes before they are ripe, we buy mangoes usually in need of ripening in the supermarket. My husband used to dock in the Brisbane river to pick up meat for the UK in the good old pre common market days. Some of the older people may remember Port Line, the shipping line was also responsible for delivering the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
hey mark love your show!!!! where did u get the tanks for raised gardens? I Am off the grid outside Mackay!!!
Mark, thank you for showing a map of your location and your brother- in law. I am in the US, explaining the different zone give me an idea of your environment
Hi Mark, I realize this is a vid from a year ago but I think it's a good comparison of different ways to use permaculture to fit the land. My question is about the Logan berries. Do they need the cold weather dormancy period the same as raspberries? I live in Arizona in the middle mountain/desert region. Zone 9a. I have a hard time with strawberries and any berry because it's just too hot in the summer and our winter low is usually in the 40's. I only get about a week of freezing temps. I also have the clay soil like yours. So do you have any advice on a berry that would be good in my area?
Good to understand the different variables at play I.e. different soil and orchid position on the slope.
I'd love a video on sunflowers. I've recently growing some but I'm not sure when to pick the seeds etc.
Id love to see 9ther peooles gardens . This was beautiful
