The Galeru farm looking East with Mt. Cooroora (Pomona) on the left and the tip of Mt.Cooroy on the right A magnificent Westerly view of rolling hills and the Galeru orchards with freshwater lake The lower orchards thriving on the lower slopes of the Galeru farm The lower orchards of the Galeru farm, a peaceful place to ponder Our farm boundary with healthy trees that protect the orchards from the wind David points out the physics of slashing on the steep eastern ridge of the farm No time for fishing today, 11 acres takes its toll on leisure time at Galeru The Galeru dam feeds our orchards all year round Galeru orchards, thriving in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Our intrepid 'slasher driver' makes his perilous way across the eastern ridge Young trees on the Eastern slopes of the farm The Galeru shed viewed from the homestead The Galeru shed, the nerve centre of the farm Our lake is a precious resource and the fishing's not bad either Brushcutting is a full time job most of the year Heavy duty brush cutter makes light work of the weed grasses Trimming around the young trees on the Eastern slopes David Haviland negotiates the lakeside on 'non-amphibious' tractor The trusty Galeru tractor makes hard yakka a little easier for David Steady as she goes as our fearless driver negotiates the terrain A good set of brakes and a keen eye for snakes in the young orchard The thriving weed grasses are no match for our giant lawn mower It's a big job to keep nature at bay on the farm The perfect place for a cool dip after a hot day An expansive vista looking East to the Galeru farm Harvesting Lemon Myrtle on the Galeru Farm A short 'back n sides' for this Lemon Myrtle Getting amongst the Lemon Myrtle trees, harvesting the best of the crop David Haviland brings in the heavy guns Precision pruning means every Lemon Myrtle will grow back even stronger
