Whistlers Rest

Autumn isn't very obvious among the native trees but the pear tree was turning on its Autumn charm last weekend.

See those electricity lines glinting in the afternoon sun.  You'd think it would be a snap to get electricity into the shed but not so.  They are high voltage and a step down costing a small fortune is required. Looks like we will be doing things camping style for a while longer.

Now we have shelter we can also cook lunch.

Sitting in the shed, enjoying the view outside the door.

Well here is what happened to the peaches.  They went all spotty and mouldy then fell off the tree. I am not sure if it is disease or the incessant wet weather that made this happen.

It's there!  We are so happy with it.

The shed has been built and we headed out to Clandulla today, eager to see it.  So close and yet unable to get there.  The little stream had become a swift flowing creek.  They are currently in the process of replacing a single lane bridge just outside the town and have a temporary low lying bridge over the creek.  Even though the water was not over the bridge, it was clearly worse for wear so closed off. The alternative route 20 or so kilometres up the road was closed too.  The water was over the road in a low section, not particularly high but flowing fast so we gave it a miss. The shed will still be there next week.
