Possum Galore
A life ‘Down Under’!
Blue Moon over Blue Moon.
So...it is the eve of our trip out west and tonight there is a Blue Moon over 'Blue Moon'.
It has to be auspicious.
Making plans.
So...Will has finished working at the Cheese Factory and I have one more day at the 'Book Cave' and then I am taking three weeks off. We are heading off on a 4000 km road trip at the weekend out to the Simpson Desert and to explore Western Queensland for around ten days. This is our intended route...
Stay tuned for our first adventure in ages.
New arrivals, visitors and residents.
So....today we got up early and nipped to the markets in town and came home with two new Silkie chicks to add to our flock.
I spent the day cleaning, tidying and improving Fort Yudhisthira in readiness for our upcoming trip away next month.
There were a few curious visitors.
And of course there are always our resident Possums to entertain us in the evening.
Second and first.
So...today we got the second of our new tanks in its final position. Quite a bit of rain is forecast in the coming week and it will be good to collect some of it if we can. Yesterday we had 12 mms of rain, the first for quite awhile. It was nice to go to sleep hearing it on the tin roof.
Tonight I spotted what I thought was a huge earthworm outside in the darkness.
It turns out that it is not a worm at all. It is, in fact, a blind snake. Luckily, it is not venemous, but it does have some small, sharp teeth, apparently. It was a first for Will and I, having both never seen one before.
