He dug a hole!

I have been waiting for a while for Wal to stop being distracted by everything and start on our weekender at Serenity Park. Finally the weekend just been, he dug four of the six holes he needed for foundations (with thanks to cousin Ben). We also cleared a track to the creek which took six hours in continuous drizzle (thanks to Jon, Jen, & friends).
We have sold a car, bought a tractor with bits, a trailer and a small car for me to run around in. Lots of cash in/cash out!

We went to the Murrumbateman Field Day and got snowed on, while pricing slashers and post hole diggers for the tractor, which is a 80's David Brown. He has decided we don't need the post hold digger as digging the holes was relatively easy considering the large amount of rain we have had recently.

With the trailer we can start taking the mountain of building material collected to begin building.

Another year has passed!

I cannot believe I last updated this a year ago.

A few things have happened, such as the purchase of Serenity Park in Jerangle, NSW. This is 950 acres of trees and trails. We have slowly been clearing the tracks, and staying in our caravan.

I have taken a break over winter as it has been very cold, and snows when the snow is down to 1000 meters. Too cold for plastic windows and a thin bit of canvas between you and the elements.



In summer there is a variety of snakes, mostly tiger but I am assuming brown as well. We also saw a funnel web spider while clearing tracks and there is alot of large huntsmen.

When Warren goes up there alone I thought a dog companion would be good for him, so Hemi arrived. He is a pure Australian Koolie and is absolutely gorgeous. He has eaten our entire backyard including terracotta pots and all of my succulents, bikes, outdoor furniture and any ball that happens to land in the yard.



He is a bit bigger now at around 5 months but still very much a puppy.
