Sue and John's Working Bee Weekend

 

John, Bu and Darryl got to work rebuilding the walls of the cabin. There was a lot of stuff to look at.

 

Including a slab that wasn't quite square. Cue: head shaking, tutting and some chuckling.

Steve arrives with his .44 magnum nail gun.

Darryl gets stuck into the power tools under Bu's watchful eye. 

Meanwhile, down at the creek, Iwan and Alannah are rockin on...

Vinny takes the kids for an adventure...

And it's bloody freezing! Meanwhile over at Chester and Norma's place....

The ladies get stuck into a spot of gardening, clearing the cardomon from outside Norma's window so she can have a better view from her bed.

And Marley lends a helping hand (you might just be able to make out the scissors)...

pooh sticks at the crossing

 April and Fraser have named the crossing "The Coral Pools"

More Water!

The first photo (by Heidi) was taken down the creek before the bitumen, and the last is "up the creek" showing the last crossing before the National Park (photo by Maree).

Sue and Bernie came home to this from a great week in Thailand - their thoughtful rellies had left their big ute on this side of the lowest crossing so en route home they transferred into this: there are no photos so I will try to paint a word picture - reaching the low crossing, they tied a rope onto the ute and with Maree and Rob "minding" on the other side, worked their way through the raging water.
 And "How deep was it Bernie?" "Scrotum high!" Well, Bernie is tall and the water very cold so you get the message I guess. I didn't ask Sue!!!!

The creek is still raging but most people are now more or less "free".
