In October
John Barrow gave me the use of a TLB
for two days and this is what we did
for two days and this is what we did
On the school embankment the TLB
moved all the rubble that had been dumped
Some pieces were really big and heavy
Smiley the driver carefully put each piece in place
so hopefully this will control the erosion
The bramble patch was next, it needed to be removed
Behind the playground where we had previously
cut down the bamboo and poplar saplings.
The TLB ripped the roots out and flattened the area
The inlet of the middle dam was clogged with papyrus
so that was cleared
And the water is running freely again
At bottom dam some reeds were removed from
the dam wall to prevent the water stagnating

NEW FENCING
November
The metal railings at the top parking were
old and rusty
So - when City Parks put this wooden fencing in the
wrong place,I asked if we could have it and they agreed.
Big improvement!
We hoped there would be enough to do the other side
So out with the old
And in with the new!
Next year we hope that City Parks will give us more poles
so we can do the rest of the parking.
TOP DAM
Just to prove I get down and dirty -
my load of hyacinth coming in
That's all for now folks.
