— the story continues 🌱✨ The new gate is finally finished this week, marking another small step in rebuilding. Salvaged memories to signs of progress each piece tells a story of resilience, healing and new beginnings. One step, one gate, one chapter in moment of time. 🤎🚪🌿

Rebuilding AnDaNa 🌱

After the bushfire in Yarck, slowly… we begin again.

Burnt tractor and farm car gone. Shed cleared. Shearing shed lost.
Trees once blackened now cut for firewood. Fences getting there going back up, post by post.
The cattle yard—just a memory for now.

And yet… the paddocks are greening. Shoots rising from ash. Life returning quietly.

The garden will be replanted. The roundabout still waits its turn.
Front gate cleared—the sign still there open once more. Welcoming guests again.

Healing land. Healing hearts.
The grass really is growing greener as we come into autumn. There have been glorious days.
We are standing tall as we proceed to rebuild AnDaNa🌿

Bushfire Update

​You may be aware that the Longwood Bushfire affected the Yarck area on 9 January 2026. We’re pleased to share that Andana’s house accommodation was not impacted and is fully functional, with guests staying again from 4 February.

Some farm infrastructure, including fencing and sheds, was affected. Clean-up and rebuilding are underway, however this does not impact guest stays or your enjoyment of the house and surrounding amenities. With the coming autumn rains, the landscape will continue to regenerate — and in the meantime, the open paddocks offer a striking and uniquely Australian rural outlook.

The township of Yarck is open for business, as are nearby towns, with cafés, pubs and local producers welcoming visitors as always. Staying at Andana also supports the local community as it recovers, something that is genuinely appreciated.

We look forward to welcoming you to Andana — a peaceful country retreat, open and ready to enjoy.
