Battling Vegetation and the Sun

Monday 22nd and Wednesday 24th June

Due to the on going conditions for volunteering , a different set of volunteers attended on Monday than did last Wednesday .

This time Dave , Peter Q and Brian joined HOD Tony , Vic and Pat , the mission as per ever is to make the station surrounds more presentable.

Last Wednesday saw the start of the drive way vegetation clearance, first job of the day was to give it a rake and mow.

After we all moved up to what we call the paddock.

Marvelous what 6 grown men can do in about an hour.

Next it was a bit of a challenge , the platform 1 embankment.

This shot , sort of shows the kind of height of the vegetation  that was all along behind the platform .

With luck we have a man who can  !

Pat makes it look easy with the strimmer , but its not especially as the day was warming up.

After working his way down the platform all that was left was to rack it down and sweep up , all debris headed for the smoldering fire in the distance

Peter having a rake.

 The after shot.

Left for another day when we can get the mower on it.

There was time to start the other end of Platform .

Again we followed what Pat had strimmed .
