Boulders, Bald Rock and a Birthday!

So...we had lots of fun last weekend. We were visited by Tess and her Mum and Dad, Jackie and John. They are my grandson Rowan's other Grandparents and we had such a lovely time together, introducing them to Frogknot and the beautiful sights around us in this area of the Granite Belt. It was my birthday on Sunday too!

The ready room.

So...the first of the new bedrooms is ready.

Totally floored!

Another job done!

So...finally after three days, three coats of paint and aching arms we've got the first room painted!

So...a while ago our neighbours had a blitz on the feral pigs roaming our properties and things calmed down a bit after that but I have continued, on occasions, to capture a few on my wildlife camera out in the bush. I have thought about building a pig trap but never got round to it until one of our neighbours said he wanted to build one too so this week we did.

Stakes, wire, netting and tools! The accoutrements of the trap builder!

The idea is, the trap is baited with something irresistible and the pigs force there way in past the bendy wire gate but then once inside can't get out again!

It's been up a couple of days but I reckon it will take awhile for the pigs to get used to it.

Watch this space!
