I live in a cool, old house on the Old Eastside in Alice Springs. the garden is fully reticulated. there is a veggie garden (hand watered). I have a small, old dog called Aunty Joy who loves company and a quiet companion. She has 2 short walks a day. There's a fishpond that needs water topped up daily, and fish are fed every 2 days. It's a cool and quiet place to be over summer....
