Gembrook Orchard in Spring


This surprisingly stark scene is the chestnut orchard just before the buds begin to burst forth. Peter thought this was an opportune time to take this panorama combo, to attempt to show the scale of the much talked about orchard. And this might only be a quarter of it. Soon the leafy canopy will return for another summer, and in Autumn we will celebrate another chestnut harvest with family and friends.

These goats are the natural means of keeping down the blackberries. Three of them are confined on long chains and are moved to new locations every second day.
