I apologise for the lack of updates it has been a really tough couple of months with some big personal decisions made and carried out.
King Country Bayside will sadly not be reopening in Brisbane or surrounds.
I am however looking into the legals and practicalities of building a farm stay/ glamping style setup on my family property in Northern NSW where myself and the animals are now based.
This will of course not happen overnight however if you would like to follow along please stay and I will update when I can!
I have listed a smaller parcel of land just up the hill from me on hipcamp. It is just a vacant block of land completely off grid that requires a self sufficient set up 🙂
As I posted at the time we did lose our female goat Mocha a little while after she gave birth to little Edgar. Sadly not long after August was born we lost Edgar as well. At the first sign of him being unwell we bundled him in the car and raced toward Gatton Uni Vet Hospital. He took his last breath around 10mins before our arrival. Upon examination it was determined that his liver was malformed during gestation due to Mocha and Edgar having different blood types. It was absolutely devastating for all of us and it still upsets us today.
In more positive news, everyone else is very healthy and happy having a big property to free range around!
Sid is still king of the hill and all of our neighbours know to be careful if he is out 🤣
I hope you are all well, I miss all of your faces terribly..

Miss Juniper has blessed us with a perfect little girl this morning!
Bub looks perfect and has been up feeding whilst Junes has been the perfect Mum so far.
Edgar has met his new little sister. By comparison to him when he was born she is tiny 💚

This little cutie is doing incredibly well!
It is still early days of course and he will continue to make adjustments toward life without his Mum but I am beyond pleased with his progress.
Today Edgar is 9 days old 💚
The day we took him and Mocha into Redlands Veterinary Clinic he was given a clean bill of health and won the hearts of all of the amazing staff at the clinic.

I am actually gob smacked at the people that have said anything about rent or other money owing.
Again, please tell me who because i know one person that commented on their post isn’t owed a cent and begged me to let them keep performing.
I am only human so if i have legitimately missed anyone tell them to give me a call.
Surely the bigger concern here would be the raw septic flowing across the property due to their lack of maintenance?
The underground waste reticulation system that pumps into the highest corner of the block. On the surface.
The cracked paths, dangerous trees, termite riddled stairs, rusty playground, loose pavers (that they still didn’t repair after a customer was injured) leaking roof and the rotten deck just to name a few of the issues.
My previous businesses have been brought into this as have personal attacks on me.
I am more then happy to sit down and talk over coffee about how my business partner at the computer shop still owes me over $20,000 if anyone has the time.
Or about how Mick and I put our blood, sweat and tears into our landscaping business that predominantly served repeat customers.
There are always three sides to a story- mine, theirs and the truth.
I have not named anybody.
I have shared information and photos that relate to that information.
I will keep on telling my side of the story until I know that the community members that i walk past in the street are not allowed to reenter that property again or until it actually gets made safe.
I am not the first tenant to be negatively affected by these people but i will do everything I can to ensure I am the last.

In happier news..
Baby Edgar is now accepting the bottle feeds and has spent most of the day curled up asleep in my bed.
When not asleep he has been running around the house like he owns it and exploring the yard.
It has been a very sad day here but little man now needs all of our love and focus so he can grow up big and strong like his sister Babychino 💚

Teenagers known to the property owners trespassing and accessing our property after we had left for the day. This recording was captured mere weeks after the cameras were installed, how many times did it happen that we didn’t record? My concerns were squashed and shut down. We never did receive an apology from the parties involved. One of which I employed for a short time.

Water leaking through the roof onto our grill. This happened every time it rained. We were lucky to avoid injury when the leaking water splashed into the deep fryer.

Raw sewerage overflow.
Please take note of the dates in the screenshots. I have many more pictures showing the damage to the lids and lack of chlorine in the system.
THIS is what we were contending with behind the scenes. We are not the first family to be damaged by these people and if they are allowed to continue on we won’t be the last!
