29th May 2009

On our last trip we had planted the first trees - 18 assorted eucalypts. Time had run out and we had not watered them or staked them. The very next day an almighty southerly storm had arrived and we were not sure the trees would still be there this week. Fortunately they all were and showed no sign of damage.

The pond had filled up too.

And not before time, the trees were given some support.

Our little battered lawnmower has been hard at work and we now have two paths, one to the water and one to the entrance, and the drive has been cut so we can get the car on the section.

But the rest of the grass was getting thicker and longer.
