The Ringbark stands sentinel to the wonderful forests that once covered East Gippsland. The house built in 2010 looks north over rolling hills of timber and farmland. There is a large deck from which to enjoy the sunset, away from city noise and pollution, and stars to view unimpeded by city lights
