A prickly story


Trace and I have been busy this weekend clearing the barb wire fence between our place and Gwen's so that Chass can come and clear the little oaks and paperbarks from the fence line. All in preparation for the fencing to be done in a fortnight or so. This pic shows the barb wire fence before I removed it.

What? You ask where the wire is? Yes, that's right - it was quite a job to extract it from the tall paspalum grass and lantana in places, but we got it done before the rains started in the afternoon. If you click on the pic to see the large version, you'll spot the wire either side of the old post on the right. There were three strands to remove from 120m strip. Ever tried pulling a length of barb wire through the holes of an old fence post?

That's Grace in the shot. She and Toby insisted (as always) that they come and 'help', too.
