Just about blow a dog off its chain down here this week...

Went for a spin down the river in the tinny yesterday to give the wwoofers a closeup croc-spotting experience and the waves were certainly standing up on the Hull Heads bar..it looked pretty white out wide as well....as well as a nice 4 plus metre model sunning itself we also saw one on the surface in the middle of the river which kept approaching us as we sat by watching us...he was very curious and totally unafraid of us or the boat..he spent 10-15 minutes swimming around the boat sometimes submerging but always popping back up again..havent seen one that bold before in the daylight in that river....the 2 wwoofers were both excited and a little scared..

A couple of very light showers around that barely register in the gauge.

Just finished 6 out of the past 7 days doing 4 hrs a day on the bamboo's ..was almost going to call Dormant to bring the ride-on down to haul the culms away...lol...so sick of chainsawing and
loading up the ute and then unloading and chucking it in a couple of big piles over in the bush...my frenchie offsiders enthusiasm and energy was seriously waning today as was mine..good to get that job out of the way..

certainly a lot more light and airlow around now so hopefully the mould problem lessens somewhat...I dont like the idea of having to move to the drier climates of Chillagoe or Cairns to escape the mould situation..

and got bit by the first Marchfly of the season today...
