Hello,
Another grey cloudy day with occasional sunshine. We started the day with a walk around with Ann to list the jobs and the methods.
Susan started on some mulching and raking up loose willow branches. The willow cuttings have a propensity to root readily. This was illustrated when we viewed cut logs on the wood pile that had new growth spurting from the bark. After she made lunch she started on the cobwebs swaddling the house. I started on shovelling out some clay from a cutting beneath which was a gravel strip drain. The clay was washing down onto the drain. The cutting was enlarged, the clay dumped near the creek to allow the mower more level passage and the bank shielded with some colorbond roofing shored up by star pickets. After lunch i started removing the plants from the gutters.
After "work" we strolled through the forest out back of the property and into Woodbridge. The pictures above were taken on the way. There are lots of oysters, good sized ones, on the rocks. I take this as an indication they are no good to eat as if they were they would have been plundered by now. I opened one and it did look not quite right inside. We will try and get some local knowledge tomorrow. Also tomorrow I would like to get a nice picture of the bay with the sun on it. However the forecast is for warm rain in the morning followed by a lull before we have cold gusty rain in the afternoon with snowfalls down to 800 metres! Typical Tasmanian spring weather!
cheers Simon
