Three Sisters, Strath Creek.

6th August 2010
25 ANZ/GE volunteers plus Chris , Cath , David and Janet met at Terry Hubbards property in Strath Creek to do some serious tree planting . The paddocks were beautifully soggy and the hills impressively steep. We travelled to the planting site via 4WD tractor . The weather was not that kind so Terry's shearing shed made a welcome retreat for our BBQ lunch . The team was very efficient -1800 trees were planted.

Highlights of the day : Chris's ability to drive any machine . Tractors & Four Wheel Motorbikes. The left-overs from the Strath Creek ladies catering for the playground opening , Terry's dog , wedgetailed eagles and the guys who headed off for a weekend skiing straight after the planting.

Washed Out

Unfortunately, all the tree planting events on Friday 25th June were canceled. Janet looks very sad as she unpacks the trailer before going inside to spend the day by the fire.

It rain all day with 63mm falling in many parts of the ranges. Teams from GE and ANZ were dissappointed. The ANZ team were still keen to get out of the office into the open air for a bit of exercise (offices must be terrible places). They came to Kinglake and pulled down some burnt fences in the rain with Chris & Bridget.

That shows real landcare toughness and endurance. Good on you, guys.
