Working bee.

Today a small group of us had a working bee at the Football/Netball ground. I started by cleaning out the womens toilet block, then put a couple of bollards in then I filled a hole with soil. After that I helped the others to cut a door in the change rooms, then of course all the broken concrete had to be cleaned up. It was a fairly good day but there is still a lot to be done, with only 8 weeks to go before the start of the season.
This evening I did some mowing to clear up the walking track and of course I had to have an apple that grows wild along the track.

The trip to Mount Samaria and the back creek falls.

A little Dutch courage.

Well it's been some time, but I'm back. A little over a week ago I came across a couple who had decided to camp with their "swish-bang" up at the footy ground. This couple, it turns out were from Holland, and were on a years trip around the world and Swanpool was an overnight stopping place. Well one thing led to another and we invited them to stay at our place, and we are very happy they have done so. They have traveled around the area quiet a bit using our place as a base, but today they are moving on. First to Hall's Gap and then to Adelaide where they leave Australia to go to their next stop, New Zealand for four and a half months, before going on to Canada. It will be a shame to see them go as it has been a real pleasure having them stay with us. We have learnt a lot, not only about them but also the land they come from, and who knows a trip to Holland is not such a pipe dream now.
