front of the road house, was hard trying to get the galah to fly thru on cue! 

young birds just hatched in the nest in the fence of the veggie garden, mum and dad give me a hard time everytime I go in to turn on the sprinklers, one of the chix was trying to fly the other day, only managed to get off the ground to a branch about head high as i came in, didnt the parents go off at me!!! if only they knew what was to come........

 every storm now, I go round next morning to see where the trees have fallen, this one is behind the veggie garden, the branch laying on the shade clothe is almost directly above the birds nest, when i went in with the chain saw, it was like a bloody three ring circus, me, mum and dad, the lead for the modem in the house is at the back and below the main branch of the tree, its a blue lead running off the roof of the veggie garden if you use your imagination you may find it, so the tree finished up as a pile of firewood,

bloke knocked on our front door at midnight, he had driven in from 50k out on three tyres and this! he got told rather unpolitely, that, no i really wasnt going to help, so piss off and when we open at 8am come and try again. he eventually left here about 11am after warburton community sent a p/o for new rim/tyre. oh, and this one is down at the tip if anyone wants it.

 this "creek" is the fire break at the back of the house, after the really big storm.......

that also turned the tip into a lake............

and I also got to close the road, only problem was, the laverton shire sent the email to close it at 3.30 we close at 3pm on weekends, so didnt get email till we turned on the system next morning,  never can work out that mob from the shire?

mitsubishi are sending engineers out to take the specs of this, will be include in their next update of the pajero range.

and so, as the sun sinks slowly in the west..... thats the fire fighting trailer just over the fence.
