working bees, climbing and fires
It has been quite busy since I last put up a post. There was the Borya survey weekend, we didn't find any but it wasn't from want of looking.
Frank and about 20 volunteers from the VCC went and spent a whole day working at the Bundaleer doing track repairs and putting in a boardwalk - great work team. The track looks much better now., and hopefully the boardwlak will prevent any further erosion in the rock shelter.
Then I went and helped to dig holes for burrowing crayfish - my greatest contribution was unknowingly recruiting a volunteer who was a demon with the spade Thanks heaps again Bruce.
The Beyond the Smoke book was launched by Bruce Esplin at Willaura on Friday 30th March:

The Pinnacle walking track was finally finished and reopened on 3rd April, the fire recovery crew have done an absolutely awesome job on it!
We had a leaving do for Jeff, Teresa and Nigel, our Canadian exchange ranger and his family, sad to see them go.
I read "Wildlife Damage Control" and wrote a book review but I don't know if it's good enough to get published yet.
Frank and I spent a whole Saturday cleaning up the Impreza to get it ready to sell as we decided it just wasn't practical up here it seems to act as a Roo magnet, and the roo doesn't always come off the worst.
Frank and I managed to squeeze in a couple of days climbing, one at the Watchtower and one at Bundaleer.

Then last week we had the first of our Autumn burns if you can call this Autumn (temp in the low to mid 20s still and absolutely NO rain). It was very very dry and so we didn't quite get the low intensity burn we were hoping for, in fact quite the opposite despite not starting ignition until after 3pm!
