Pipe full of Frogs – 6th March 2021
I was checking the shed storm water down pipes when I got a big surprise!
A big Green surprise.

Another rain system passed us this weekend and delivered nothing….
With no significant rain since March and the now rising temperatures, things are looking grim.
This was a first-time for us with the gutters.
I have fixed them, cut them and broken gutters before, but I had never made one from scratch.
We have acquired three 5000 litres water tanks for the Nursery and today we connected those tanks in preparation for the addition of pump and solar power.
After December’s rain, we saw our water started to get a little ‘brown’. As we rely on rain water collection this is not abnormal and can have lots of different indications.
But this was a first.
With the base for the Nursery IBCs fixed we can now (re)install the second IBC again, and fill them with water.
Thanks to our friendly Rangers at Lamington National Park we have access to a hug amount of aged Forest Mulch. This is one of the major resources that we need for much of the work we do.
This has allowed us to continue extending the South Park path.
The rain we have received over the last few days has filled the big house water tank.
So I got to see the water tank overflow diffuser that we made in action.
We have paths that we have cut through South park and the Orchard, but they are incomplete and the paths are not connected.
So today we set about completing and connecting a number of bit of path.
We returned home today from our trip to Sydney and were met with scenes of devastation.
The combination of extremely high temperatures and a severe lack of summer rain has taken a massive toll on our vege plots and gardens, and across the property.
