been struggling to keep up with pool maintenance, as our
neighbour's Jacarandas got impossibly tall over our pool.
What they dumped seasonally, flowers and seed pods was
a huge bulk of waste.
Luckily for us, Mike and Gordon offered to come to the
rescue and cut them down.
This is a before shot showing the girth of these trees.
This tree was right over the pavilion.
This Tawny Frogmouth was in a tree to be chopped,
so slowly he got the message and relocated a safe distance away.
Mike did all the ladder work.
Everyone is kitting up. Bec makes a cute little lumberjack.
Going, going...
A swimming tree.
Chris reluctantly did a shift at the fire, he wanted to watch cricket more.
This is the fire I constructed, which burned well. Not bad for a girl?
Nearby was a terrible ruckus all afternoon, as this little fellow,
a Southern Boobook Owl was discovered by the local birds.
Bec investigated originally and found the pair in a overhanging sandstone feature.
They flew out right in front of her. His or her offspring was separated for the rest
of the day, but at nightfall we watched and heard them reunite.
Finally - no overhang of either Jacaranda or Cotoneaster.
This stump will no doubt regrow, but it is low and now can be kept easily maintained.
Now we get to appreciate more attractive native gumtrees.
Finally one last job, install a possum box, and attach a bridge.
Their evening route includes from our roof corner across to next
door's garden. It is quite a long span.
