Ttekceba

"Home to a menagerie of residents and guests"

The owner, Veronika, has a love of animals as well as plants. She enjoys the companionship of her placid German Shepherd dog. Those who are allergic to dog hair should take note, between guests her dog spends time in the house.

Sadly the most exotic of her animals, an albino peacock (above) was a victim of foxes some years ago.

A flock of Egyptian and Chinese geese patrol the grounds in stately fashion. An abundance of more typical feathered friends stop in on their travels, including wood ducks, spoon bills, herons, rosellas, cockatoos, kookaburras, the list goes on...

Several miniature shetland ponies call Ttekceba home and enjoy grazing through the garden when allowed.

With 400 arces of pristine bush on one side, it's no surprise that native visitors appear quite regularly. Eastern Grey kangaroos and the smaller wallabies can visit at dusk, while echidnas, wombats and possums may be seen from time to time.
