Beautiful soil and lovely rolling hills at Mena Creek. We thought of trading in our "close to the beach lifestyle type" property for a larger ex cattle type property at Mena but decided to stay here in the end.
Living in a rainforest valley in the middle of a mountain range is a bit of heaven ( lovely, sheltered, privacy, linkage between upland and lowland rainforest, gravity feed water) and hell (ALLL of that water flowing down means a really high water table and poor drainage and not alot of horizon ) but the good out weighs the bad. Here's a shot of the little waterfall on the back of our property. We gravity feed from about 600meters up in the National Park.
