Last year's gorse carpet has been replaced with a broom carpet ... oh well, every w**d-sprout pulled is one less seed in the ground and thousands fewer future seeds! .. and what a day to be in the bush serenaded by choughs, pardalotes and weebills!

This morning, 20 or so hearty, happy HB Tribe members ignored the 'BoM Scare' and made use of the gap in the rain bands.

The regeneration of native grasses is starting to direct our activities and the results are showing. Such an uplifting morning!
