      <image:caption>As February and the summer drew to an end the rain really started. Firstly it was storms and then rain events to beat all other rain events. We had our first mini flood followed by the big one. See the unfolding event with lots of photos in our first flood diary with lots of photos including the rescue of Jac our three legged goanna.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After the many dingo attacks on our chooks we only let them out for an hour or so in the afternoon. We generally keep a good watch for the dingo but one afternoon when we were both at the house the dingo struck again, taking another chook. We actually saw the attack. The canine must creep up and then pounce. The chook didn’t have time to even call out. We doubled down on our supervision making sure someone was checking at all times.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A motion sensor camera, or two, is an incredibly useful tool. There may be hundreds of photos to go through each day but at least you will understand what is happening. Through camera observation, you will see which animals are actually eating the grain and how many feral pigs are turning up thus determining how much placebo and toxin bait to put out. One toxin bait may kill at least six fully grown feral pigs. The feral pigs will regulate how much toxin bait they actually consume.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The carpet pythons, Morelia spilota, have bred successfully this year. We found one tiny carpet python inside our chook pen, easily moving through the 1cm square wire mesh protecting the chooks. At this size the snake is in greater danger from the chooks though! Another larger python managed to slide under the door and consumed one of our chicks. The gap has been removed. Our largest python we call Monty is well over two metres long.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The grass trees are blooming, hundreds are with a flowering stem. We haven't seen a flowering like this for many years, not since our fire here in 2012 which stimulated a flowering event. This year there was no fire (thankfully) but a large number are flowering here and at our neighbours. We think this might be from the stress of the drought last year and or from the bushfire smoke that filled the air for many months.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Bushfires Heat Koalas and Rain - Half a million hectares burnt</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the northern fires started out around Washpool. This is rainforest country. The fire burnt through the rainforest, came down the mountain and crossed the Clarence River, gradually burning towards us and the village of Copmanhurst. Many homes were protected and saved but already depleted paddocks were burnt leaving nothing for the cattle and other stock or our native wildlife.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Bushfires Heat Koalas and Rain - RFS contains the fire heading towards us</image:title>
      <image:caption>The RFS set out containment lines to hold the fire as can be clearly seen by the "Fires Near Me" app. See how they ran a fire line along the southern and eastern boundary. We had a nervous evening but this stopped the fire along with the intense work from the RFS along the containment lines.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - the Young Forest - After the 2012 fire the whole area has regrown. You can see here the aftermath of the fire in the same forest.

      <image:title>Blog - the Young Forest - The native peach (formerly called poison peach) dropped a lot of their leaves over the winter, not because they are deciduous, just a lack of rain. Many of the trees lost leaves over this winter. The heat broke records for winter and it didn't rain here for over 3 months.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - the Young Forest - We have planted some local natives to add some of the original species that we can't find here. The bangalow palms are thriving along the water courses. The red cedars are surprisingly fast growers, already reaching 4m after only a few years. The red cedars were the driving force in the exploration and settlement of this region. There are few left now.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - the Young Forest - Caret snake curled up and warming.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The days are heating up the snakes and goannas are regular visitors now. Our house python can't squeeze through the gaps in the ceiling any more so has taken up residence near the warmth of the roof along the verandah during the day. The swamp hens let us know each day it is curled up there by making a particular sound. We frequently hear from them and invariably find a snake or goanna. They will often herd the reptile away, pecking at their tail, to move it along.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Summer is here … - Carpet pythons (morelia spilota) are common in this region. They are non venomous snakes that feed on frogs, birds, eggs or anything else they can get hold of, including chickens, as we have found from previous experience. These large snakes spend most of their time around the wetland looking for frogs.</image:title>
