2026 ~ We keep getting prompts by meta to 'grow your business', to expand, get more, be more.... etc etc. 🤯
For us ...Less... is more...💚
This place is our sanctuary and has been that for many others too, a safe space to heal or let go. We do not want to grow the business, in fact it is the opposite. Our aim is to downsize, simplify and only take what we need. We have had many signs its getting closer to the time where we will hand this beautiful place over to new owners.
To this end >>The Plan Is...we will continue to refine, downsize and simplify in 2026 in preparation for our new beginning, late 2026/27.
For now we continue providing all existing services as they are until 1st July 2026, then we will be closing down Foggy Lookout services. Including the respite and camping by 2027. 🙏 Everything always changes, but today ...😊thats where we are at!

Sad day on the farm today, we had to help one of our doe's - one of our recent Mothers over the rainbow bridge today. RIP Hilda, we will all look after your twin boys for you. Jasper and Dave are beautiful and strong. Hilda had a rough start, needing to be hand raised with her twin Gilbert. Being the weakest goat in the herd tends to lead to being pushed out even more, bullied even. She missed out on her Mother's love, but was a wonderful Mother to 2 sets of twins. I will miss our chats 😢

Heres what AI says is the 'General Vibe' of our place - 'The campsite offers a serene and scenic experience, with visitors frequently praising the spaciousness and well-maintained grounds. Hosts Jani and Bernie are highlighted for their friendliness and attentiveness, often enhancing the stay with personal touches like guiding guests to their spots or offering extra amenities like a fire bath. The picturesque views, particularly at sunrise and sunset, are a recurring theme, providing a peaceful backdrop for relaxation. While some mention minor road noise due to proximity to Brisbane, the overall experience remains positively memorable for most visitors.' We have 99% positive rating ~ 2 people have actually had a whinge about being able to hear the road - mind you it all depends on the cloud cover and wind direction, and ~one year we had a person complain we had prickles, in the beautiful grass on our hill! :D - we cannot please everyone and are totally fine with that😎👍😁
