Four weeks in and we have planted our first (and second) passionfruit vine - Hooray!
The possums (brushtails) have started to make their presence felt. Chompimg on our avocado tree all night long has resulted in action- Today we put some corrugated roofing perspex around the base of the tree - we'll see how that goes .
We have wallabies and pademelons also hopping by nightly, so we can't be sure who ate the tips off our thyme and rosemary. They now have wire guards on them ...
We removed an old fenced area which was overgrown with lemon grass and tree lucerne and uncovered ... a youhg avocado tree! Amazing . It is now muched and fertilized- and watered!
Bruce continues the lantana eradicationand is making good progress ripping out the dreaded pest plant.
Best sighting of all was our resident lace monitor. It seems to be around the garden a lot, and runs up the nearest tree if we come out. Such a beautiful creature.

Considerable progress is also being made in the garden with the first garden bed.
We are also having regular fires outside in the evening -Had a great chicken curry in the camp oven recently.
