Limestone Downs... by julzmaioro

Limestone Downs...

Past this scene yesterday on our Sunday drive.. This is part of a very large farm known as Limestone Downs.. It covers 3,219 hectacres with 320 hectacres being the dairy platform, the rest of the land is used for a sheep and beef unit, 400 hectacres is in native bush and being replanted. There is also a Manuka Honey trial going on. These cows are looking pretty happy grazing on the top of the hill in the sunshine..
Wonderful land over there!!

Great capture. DonĀ“t know why but I think they almost look like miniature cows

I think I might have been round this area, is it anywhere near the Nicau Cafe? Ant & Jo used to take us for rides out around there when they lived up there. Love the cows decorating the hill & a bit of that black sand showing! Fave for that whole area....We miss the cafe & these pizzas! Too far these days! Shame because Ant & Jo were very friendly with lots of people there & in the cafe.
