Wilderdom

Our current version of Wilderdom is located on 3/4 acre just beyond Canberra, the "bush capital" of Australia, in a village of about 40 people, on the Murrumbidgee River, surrounded by sheep & cattle farms and the Namadgi National Park, not far from the Australian Alps We have a couple of children and 3 cats 'rescued' from various sources.
