Our family likes spending time in the bush.
With that in mind we purchased a 450 acre block at Nerriga where we could go to hang out as a family.
The block is 80% bush with a few cleared paddocks, it gives the family a great place to go an relax together.
The 2019 bushfire ripped through 95% of our block.
That was a bit stressful at the time, we bounced back with some new knowledge and a new opportunity.
We learned that the timber on the property certainly burned well!
Where the fire went through we now have thousands of standing dead trees that come down every time there’s a bit of wind.
In order to keep the paddocks somewhat clear, I started cutting and splitting this wood to sell as firewood.
Previously, we also tried supplying bulk wood by the trailer load, but found we could not keep up with demand.
We’d rather sell less wood that is better quality, than have disappointed customers.
We have decided to specialise in providing fire wood in 20kg bags.
