Here's a snapshot of Tobias [8] assisting us with burning-off. While fire can be dangerous, involving him in this controlled and supervised activity offers invaluable lessons:

Fire Safety Education: Through hands-on participation, Tobias learns about fire safety, emphasising caution and respect. We show him how to rake leaves and clear sticks away from areas we wish to protect, conducting burns in small, controlled sections.

Environmental: He gains an understanding of the importance of reducing snake habitats near walkways and clearing deadfall, fostering a deeper appreciation for our environment. Importantly, these controlled burns help reduce fuel loads, thereby mitigating the risk of more intense bushfires during hotter seasons.

Responsibility: Assigning him small tasks instils a sense of responsibility and pride in contributing to our family's efforts.

Engaging children in such activities blends education with meaningful family experiences. Tobias is excited to share this photo and his newfound knowledge with his classmates during show-and-tell.

Spotted in the wild in our backyard! 🐸 This little one is a Western Quacking Frog (Crinia georgiana), native to Western Australia. Known for their quirky quacking call, these tiny frogs are a unique part of our local biodiversity. Listen closely to see if you can hear it! They're a great reminder of how important frogs are in keeping insect populations in check. 🐸🌿

Forget the internet—today's entertainment is hours of daisy chain making! 🌼 Why swipe through apps when you can loop hundreds of flowers together with your bare hands? Skills include extreme patience, precision engineering with plant stems, and the occasional debate about whether this daisy is "the perfect one" or not.

Child labor for daisy chain assembly is optional but highly recommended—especially when they’re this enthusiastic! 🌼💪🏼 By the end, we'll have enough chains to decorate an entire farm…or at least a few wrists and hats. 🌻👑

It's hard to believe we've been here for almost 3 months now. When you buy a home that's been loved for over 20 years, it feels like inheriting a garden full of surprises. We arrived to bare branches on deciduous trees, but slowly, the mystery has revealed itself. What a beautiful surprise nature is! ❤️

Dear Gentle Guests,

I was inspired by a delightful book from our local Manjimup library—nature play at its finest, a charming tome on crafting natural art supplies from rocks and ash. I envisioned moments of refined artistic endeavor for my children. Alas, nature, it seems, had other plans. Rather than an artist, I have unwittingly cultivated a rather dashing young lumberjack to scare our guests away! 🪓 🖌️🌿

Did you know that our chalets are right next to the historic One Tree Bridge? 🌲

Back in 1904, local settlers Herbert and Walter Gilblett built the first bridge across the Donnelly River using just one massive karri tree! They skillfully cut down the giant tree to create a crossing where none existed before. Today, you can still see the remains of this incredible structure, a true piece of local history.

Since then, the bridge has been replaced twice, with the most recent version built in 1955 to support heavy logging trucks. Visitors can now walk across the nearby footbridge and admire the original bridge remnants below, with the modern bridge towering above.

It’s a peaceful spot perfect for a walk and a glimpse into the past, right here when you stay at Karri Glade Farm Stay. 🌿

Dear Esteemed Guests,
Have you heard of Chicken Math? Well, it starts now. Allow me to introduce… our newest c**k 😳. One look at his striking comb and fine plumage, and you'll see—he struts with an air of undeniable charm. Ladies 🐓, prepare yourselves, for temptation lurks among the ferns. The season is ripe! 🐣🐥

Dear Gentle Guests,

Today, we find ourselves graced with the arrival of a most peculiar visitor in our humble garden – the illustrious Phallus impudicus, more commonly known as the Stinkhorn. Yes, you read that correctly, and I assure you, it lives up to its name in the most aromatic fashion.

During our garden's leisurely inspection, what should we unearth but the Stinkhorn in its embryonic form – the notorious ‘stinky egg.’

This curious little orb, far from being a culinary delight, emits an aroma that can only be described as... how shall one put it delicately... an assault on the olfactory senses 💩.

Yet, such is the wondrous way of nature, dear friends. Even the most seemingly distasteful characters have their role in the grand tapestry of life. So, we tip our hats (and perhaps hold our noses) to the Stinkhorn, for it is, after all, a sign of healthy, thriving soil! 🌳🌷

What treasure will you find on your stay? The possibilities are endless!!

Dear Gentle Guests,

Ah, the allure of yesteryear! Do you fondly remember the thrill of wandering through the aisles of Blockbuster, seeking the perfect cinematic escape for the evening?

Alas, Blockbuster may have vanished into the annals of history, alongside Tamagotchis, skinny eyebrows, and the glory days of MySpace. Yet, here at Karri Glade Farm Stay, our own "Karri Buster" lives on in all its nostalgic splendor. 🙌

We present to you a curated collection of beloved film treasures. 🎥🍿 Our grand DVD wall stands ready, boasting an array of timeless classics, blockbuster hits, and perhaps a cheeky guilty pleasure or two. Borrow to your heart’s delight, without a hint of a late fee. So, why not make yourself comfortable, peruse the collection, and embark on a most delightful movie marathon? 🎬

I have a confession 😳 to make, and it starts with a heartfelt apology 🙏 to the Manjimup Post Office 📮... I may have gone a little overboard with the online shopping, and... well... I accidentally ordered a trampoline to our tiny PO Box. All 18 boxes of it. 😬 🤦🏻‍♀️

My sincerest apologies, Post Office crew—please accept my peace offering of free avocados 🥑 and a bounce on our trampoline (once it’s assembled, of course - and yes it’s adult sized)!

P.S. Dear guests, get ready for some epic bouncy fun coming your way soon! 👏

Dear Gentle Guests,

I was today years old when I realised an Elon Musk 🔥 flamethrower is likely tax deductible for our farm 🤔

Nothing stirs the depths of my cussing quite like the epic battle with this most villainous of foes: the infernal blackberry bush. This prickly miscreant lures you in with promises of sweet, juicy berries, but don’t be fooled—it’s mostly pain, thorns, and a whole lot of swearing. I kindly asked it to 🤬 off, but alas, polite requests are evidently not a proven method of eradicating this menace of a plant.

Armed with trusty secateurs, fire 🔥, and a collection of mysterious tools whose names escape me, I launched a full-scale attack. After 4 hours of wrestling with this son-of-a-bush, I’ve made baby steps of progress. I’ve barely scratched the surface, and I swear the bush is smirking, convinced of its own immortality!

But mark my words, I shall not be defeated! The battle may be long, and my patience (and supply of band-aids) may be dwindling, but this thorny nemesis will meet its match. Be gone, you insolent shrub!

Onward to victory… eventually.

Yours in prickly peril,

Lia

P.s if you have effective methods to eradicate this beast, I’m listening 👂

Dear Gentle Guests,

Karri Glade Farm Stay has a pregnancy 🤰 announcement!!! 🎉 🐣🍼👶🐸

Cover your children’s eyes 🙈!!! R18 ⚠️ …. “Mummy…. Why are those frogs having a piggy back!?”

Hop on over and witness the ultimate amphibian love fest featuring our motorbike frogs in action!

Watch as three amorous pairs of these ribbiting romancers get down to business in the wetlands, engaging in a little froggy fondue of frolicking, froggin’, and frisky frolics.

Whether they’re in full-throttle flirtation, slippery shenanigans, or amphibious amore, these passionate pairs put the 'ribbit' in rabbit-like reproduction! It’s a wild ride of splashing, splooshing, and swampy seduction as these amphibians leap headfirst into the pond of passion.

Don’t miss the slimy spectacle of croak-ulation and tadpole tango—nature’s way of making sure the frog population stays hopping

What did we find this morning? 🎉 🥳…. Well frog spawn my dears!!! So many babies due soon….. Watch this space lovers 🥰

P.s. we welcome our guests to join us on a frog spotting hunt 🤩

P.p.s video coming soon available on OnlyFrogs

That rhythmic 🎶 “bonk…bonk…bonk” you’re hearing is the Western Banjo Frog (aka Pobblebonk) showing off its best moves to attract a mate! Literally “bonking” for a bonk 😉.

When it’s mating season, these frogs go all out with their signature "bonk" call. Oh the romance 😳

💡 Quick Frog Facts:

These chunky frogs grow up to 7.5 cm with grey or dark green backs and bright red patches on their legs.

Males beef up during breeding season, with thick arms and dark throats, plus special pads on their hands for a firm grip in the froggy dating game.

Females make foamy rafts for their eggs by beating the water’s surface—think floating bubble bath meets frog nursery. 🍾🛁Their giant tadpoles, up to 8 cm long, hang out in deep waters, taking their time to grow up.

So if you hear that bonking sound, know it's just these frogs doing what they do best—bonking for a bonk!

💚🐸 we have put some “frog bogs” in by the dam to create some safe spaces for their tadpole babies ❤️ 🥰 🎶 Watch this space - baby announcement coming soon 🤩 🥰 🍼

Dear Gentle-Guests,

Spring has finally arrived! And what better way to herald this most delightful of seasons than with a plant so fabulously flamboyant it would make a peac**k 🦚 blush 😳 — the Iced Vo Vo bush! 🎩🌸 (Do not trouble yourselves with scientific names, darlings; we shan't bother with such trifles!! Vo-Vo bush Will do!!)

This cheeky little shrub seems to have borrowed its outfit from Australia’s cherished biscuit, strutting about with an indecent amount of pink icing, dollops of jammy splendour, and a coquettish sprinkle of coconut. Scandalous, indeed!

Now, a word to the wise….. do resist the urge to nibble. This glorious spectacle, though delicious in appearance, it’s meant only for the eyes and certainly not for your afternoon tea. 📸☕️ Our darling Vo-Vo diva much prefers to be the object of admiration 😍🥰, basking in the spotlight of your gaze, cameras 📸 poised at the ready.

So gather round, strike your most elegant pose, and let the floral theatrics begin! Spring is upon us, dear hearts! Get out there ☀️ 📷 🌺 🌷

Getting the day started

Such a terrible view 🤔

Even the birds love our Chalets 🥰

Our chalets are so popular we have attracted a squatter. This little bird snuck in as a guest was checking out. She suggested we could make your stay better by including come complimentary bird seed🐦‍⬛(jokes - don’t feed the wildlife). P.s does any one know the species of this little beauty? 🥰

Jumping up and down in muddy puddles 🎶 🐷

What kind of attire do children (and adults) need I’m sure this answers your question 🐖 🎉 🥰 🎶 🥾 ☔️ We have had some sunny days, however the recent rain fall has left us with lots of exciting muddy puddles for you to explore …. Enjoy them, our accommodation comes with a shower, bath, washing machine and dryer 🧼 🛁 (washing powder included 👍). P.s. no judgement from me, I’m an adult I I like jumping in muddy puddles ❤️ you may find it “therapeutic” 👏

How cute are these loved up splendid fairy wrens?

There's always something going on, either in the water or in the air. I never get tired of watching the Tree Martins, they zoom around you. We're having trouble with the lawn. The purple Swamphens are forever pulling up the runners and eating the roots.
