Our long dry period has been relieved by more than 100mm during the last eight days. We started planting on the new island while it was still possible to walk across with dry feet. It is a wonderful feeling to spend an afternoon planting trees and then listen to the rain at night knowing they are all being well watered in.
WILD WINGS & SWAMPY THINGS
Now that our major restoration projects are complete we are taking more time to simply enjoy the privilege of living in such a beautiful, peaceful and endlessly interesting area. While there are always a few maintenance tasks the work is not onerous and we can take time out to enjoy our walking tracks as well as to sit and simply look around. It is immensely rewarding to observe the growth in the vegetation, watch trees mature and to delight in the variety and number of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects both residing on and visiting the property.-
