The more I live here in the hills of Highlands in the Strathbogie Ranges in central Victoria the more I see what nature has to offer and the line between us a nature is blurring.
But as I drift through my days, weeks and now almost a full year here, the more the layers are been revealed.
To see the power of the wind, move hundreds of trees across the side of a mountain. The way the Wallabies are getting use to us and now eating the grass in front of the house while watching us eat breakfast through the window. Watching the local framer looking after his land, burning the falling down trees for the last week before the fire season starts, bonfires all night for days until a drenching rains comes and put them out and filling our water tanks.
These things feel real to me.

The old historic building, housing the famous Marmalades Cafe in Yea, had it's corrugated roof replaced last month. There is a least three hundred sheets of very beautifully and usable rusty iron. After three full ute loads, I now have a least two years supply of iron for sculpting. The things I can do, yum, yum!

Note: Monkey Tail Design website will be under going a design change over the next year. It is and always will be a work in progress.
