The family has always been passionate about Carriage Driving, Competing and Judging and these two aspects have taken us to many countries.

Today we are situated in the Western District, Southern Grampians.     We also breed Bearded Iris, conduct a B&B and spend any spare time we have creating Art work. The last few lines of Dorothea Mc Kellar's famous poem, "My Country" says it all.

.........."Though the world has many splendours,
Wherever I may die,
I know to what brown country,
My homing thoughts will fly"
