A Home in the Country

Berenice grew up in the Sydney suburb of Maroubra and although at that time there was the beach and plenty of open space for children to play in (and get into mischief) she yearned to live in the country.

When she married Bern, her dream came true and off to the bush they went when he got a job as a stockman. Life wasn’t always idyllic but she was in love, there were wide open spaces and her horse, Gai, was happy.

A couple of years later they purchased a property in Bargo, south west of Sydney, where they worked hard to build up their farm with cattle, poultry and an orchard.
