There is a single small step to the Garden Queen and 2 single steps to the Ridge King I and Ridge King II.

This is the Australian bush! While the areas in the immediately vicinity of the main living areas are cleared and fairly level, our 110 acres is largely covered in Australian bush with natural features including gullies, drop-offs and cliffs.
