Thanks to all those who were able to come along on a glorious day on our hill in the latest instalment of the Weed War. The weeders were: Jemima & Craig (and Lulu) Ben, Alison (and Ellie), Paul, and Tim. Brief skirmishes were the order of the day with a very useful mix of weeds, good/bad grasses and the odd dog rose flushed out. While we've had better starts to a day (we arrived to discover our 5 newly minted water tanks trashed by a freak storm on Thursday) we ended the session with a discovery (thanks Ben and nice to meet you!) of a rare Clover Glycine patch.
(Glycine Latrobeana) Classified as 'Vulnerable' under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972

We really can't wait to live on the place, build on what we've learned these last few years and develop a considered approach to bush management. Very exciting.
Next month - Alison, Steve and Ellie's place...
