Water to the trees

With all the trees we have been planting on the main picnic area to replace the bluegums who refuse to die we needed a water supply nearby. As our dear chairlady has been agitating for this for some time we thought that we could put the left over pipe to good use and fulfil her wishes.

Fortunately the weather was cool and the soil moist so conditions were ideal.

We located the main supply pipe and put a T-piece in.

 
after that it was just hard work to dig the pipe in but with the four of us it was done in quick time

and the lady was very pleased.

While doing this Rob found one of the more interesting inhabitants of the Reserve.

After lunch we still managed to fix the broken railing on one of the small bridges, pull up quite a few Bryophyllums in the arboretum and inspected where the previous weekend’s triathlon had entered the reserve.

On the way out we still had a chat to Goodman and found out that one of their bakkies has been totalled going down the pass. Such joy.
