The clearing along the track went well, but has now come to a standstill pending other things to do. There are some really attractive rocky outcrops on our property, although not as massive as at Girraween National Park just up the road.
This is the part I've just cleared and tidied up, and I'm very happy with how it looks.
This part of our track (above) is further along into the property and we love it's winding, bushy feel. The 'trick' will be to make it more user-friendly while retaining the bush-track feel.
With the bush being so dry, fairly sparse and 'see-through' I took the opportunity to bash around a bit, mainly investigating the future route of the miniature railway. Many really nice areas were viewed, all of which would benefit from some careful tidying-up. Another aspect that I enjoyed was 'finding' all the survey pegs on the line which runs down the middle of our property, defining the two 'blocks'. Two of these I had never been able to find before, in thick scrub. I intend keeping this surveyed line clear so that it will provide a useful reference for all aspects of the development, as it is very clear and defined, whereas the outer boundaries are not as easily referenced.
The other table for my portable model railway is finished, with just the edging to go on. This just leaves the two small 'bridging' side section to make. Already it is proving extremely useful!!
Naturally I am finishing the month with an excitement and enthusiasm for the various jobs that I have in mind for next month, particularly some areas of the miniature railway route. I suspect that 'mowing' will become an increasing demand with this warm weather, particularly if we get some rain, but that's ok. As ever, I can't wait to get stuck into it!!
