Sunset over the Frankland River farmlands
Wine, lush land, and a serene river….what more can I say? We are so proud of the wine our rich land produces; I think it is up there with some of the finest. For me tranquil is the word that springs to mind when I think about living here. On my property I hear birdsong more than anything else. This is undoubtedly the perfect spot for me.
