I have always admired this amazing home created by artist Irene Pearce. This beautiful house and garden are so inspiring!! An old concrete water tank was converted to a home by Irene and the wonderful garden full of art evolved as a result.

If you love gardens, sculpture, mosaic and talented people have a look at these videos, I am sure you will enjoy them. It's fair to say many faeries live there with Irene.
This wonderful little plant is Herb Robert, Geranium robertianum, named after a french Monk, who lived around 1000AD and is believed to have cured many people's illness with this herb.
There are many medicinal properties attributed to Herb Robert, mainly immune systm enhancement.
By increasing oxygen to the bodies cells, the immune system is enhanced greatly.
Considering many believe the main cause of cancer is lack of oxygen to cells, this means this is a very powerful healing plant. The main ingredient germanium is also antiviral and antibacterial.
There is a great deal of anecdotal evidence to suggest this plant, ingested daily can help heal the body from serious illness.
Throughout history Herb Robert has been used for many illnesses including as a blood purifier, for diabetes, shingles, diarrhoea, skin conditions, bruises, inflammation and mosquito repellant when leaves are rubbed on the skin.
On a different level it has been noticed that Herb Robert grows abundantly in areas with high radiation and it is believed that it absorbs radiation from the soil and disperses it!!
Do have a look at this wonderful little plant, it is pretty and incredibly healing, the only negative aspect is that Herb Robert spreads everywhere!! I have it coming up in pots and gardens everywhere, but if your garden is a little wild it is welcome!!

Coona Barra where? Coonabarabran - a small town in North West New South Wales Australia is home to much wildlife, most wonderous places and is inhabited by many talented artisans, astronomers and farming folk.
My family has lived there for many years and a recent visit reminded me how beautiful this area is even in the grip of terrible drought.

Coonabarabran is probably best known for the majestic Warrumbungle range in the National park - providing exquisite bush walking and photo opportunities, this beautiful National park is easy to find following signs through town and there is plenty of accommodation in the area.
Siding Springs Observatory is also definitely worth a visit. Watch this video to see how amazing the night sky is without light pollution!!!
other places to visit include Pilliga pottery in the depths of the beautiful Pilliga forest,
to see their studio, cafe and pet friendly farm stay visit their website:
If you love native plants a visit to http://www.bilbyblooms.com.au/ is a must. Their display of native plants that they grow and sell is just fantastic, especially in Spring.
Spring is a wonderful time to visit this area and you will find wildflowers including flannel flower, wattles, egg and bacon bush, fringed violet, native orchids and numerous others in flower in the National park and Pilliga forest.
The town itself has a quaint old world feel and there are many cute shops to browse in if that is to your liking. A visit to Warrumbungle organics won't disappoint - their vegan pies are the best I have tasted!!
Many thanks to everyone who is still visiting our blog xx
We have been so busy with fencing and watering that this part of our lives has been sadly neglected.
We recently visited the most magical place - Bribie Island Butterfly house. If you get the chance to visit it is really worth the drive. What could be better than a place filled with butterflies, stick insects and faeries?
This fantastic place is completely run by volunteers and is a wonderful source of information about butterflies, breeding and host plants for your garden and of course we left with a few plants..
Definitely worth a visit if you are close by - if not have a look at their website!!
There is lots more to do on Bribie Island, Hosay and Nismo thoroughly enjoyed the beach.
So apparently in the new Earth we are all going to be living in tree houses...

This beautiful tree house built by Lionel Bucket in the Blue Mountains, Australia is just so gorgeous and this short video really gives you the feeling of life living in a tree house...

This information is so important I had to share it here for anyone who is meant to come across this in the times that are coming very soon. Alison Coe is a registered hypnotist trained in Dolores Cannon's methods and the messages surfacing in these sessions are really interesting!! Take the time to watch and research the terms mentioned if you do not understand what these are - 5D Earth, New Earth.
Some of this imformation may be new, if you are having trouble with the concepts, scroll down to watch the Dolores Cannon video posted on this blog .
Tonight's full moon is very special. Our Planet's vibration is increasing at an incredible rate at the moment and the energy coming through with the super moon and eclipse tonight is causing huge energy shifts within her inhabitants. This energy shift will cause us to reach a higher vibration and become more at peace, more intuitive, and awakened. Really, this is what is needed on Earth right now.
This moon is the third in a series of powerful lunar energetic events.
If you have been feeling drained or unsettled by this energy it is important to avoid alcohol and caffeine, spend time in nature, eat lots of fruit and vegetables and take cleansing baths or swim in clean waterholes of rivers.
Disconnecting from electrical devices and people who lower your vibration is also vital at this time.
This video below; although quite long contains some incredibly important information for our current interesting times, this information is also very helpful during energy shifts such as this.
We thank Dolores for all the amazing work she did and will be consistently sharing her messages here on this blog.
Not everyone knows about the famous Krampus, so I thought I would share what I have learned.
Santa Claus (St. Nicholoas) comes at Christmas time to see all the good children. However he has a darker twin called Krampus who has been reputed to beat children, or even kidnap them and keep them for a year in his lair.
Not someone you want to meet at Christmas time
Many countries in Europe now have parades with young men dressed as Krampus scaring onlookers!
This Greeting card from 1900's says Greetings from Krampus!!
This fantastic film from 2015 gives you a great insight into the character Krampus
Watch the trailer if you are game:
Lost Girl episode "Groundhog Fae" features Krampus in all his glory - here is the trailer:
You can watch the whole episode here:
If all that has been too scary -

We have an abundance of wildlife moving into the garden so we decided to put in some nest boxes.
These required a little construction as they arrive flat -packed, but this was easy and after a quick couple of coats of paint to protect them from our harsh Australian sun they were ready to install.
Here is a short video showing the boxes we installed -
We purchased our boxes in Australia from www.nestingboxes.com.au
If you search on the internet most countries have a company making these - or you could make your own.
