New Water Habitat – 11th June 2016
As the bottom steps are now finished and the gardens in place was created a new water habitat on the Plot Level.

Another of our water habitats is getting popular with the locals. Birds now regularly visit the water habitat that we have created in the back yard.
It’s a simple one. An upside down plastic garbage bin lid on top of a galvanised garbage bin.
The Fire Deck we have been planning will be really special once it is done and finished and one of the reasons why is that it will almost encircle one of our multiple stem Grass Trees on the Tank(Fire Deck) level.
Today we undertook some more planting in the South Gully. As we have now got some trees and plants in position, the plan for further planting is much clearer.
So the second major round of planting was done today.
Today we took a trip up to Brisbane to find/collect/purchase some new trees and plants. We are now planting the South Gully and endeavouring to restore the rainforest that was previously there.
We also have a number of other places that need planting, including the roadside and parts of the home hill. These areas are part of our battle against erosion.
Today we continued to plant out the South Gully on our path to returning it to a Rainforest state.
Weather and lack of rain have slowed us down a little, but with showers predicted for a few weeks we can get on with the planting.
As we have cleared areas of the property that have been neglected over the last 5-6 years, we have seen more and more of the native plant species return.
The most remarkable has been the Maidenhair Fern(Adiantum atroviride) that appeared in massive numbers as we cleared away grass tussocks on the south and protected side of the house hill.
