…in the rumour that a crazed digger driver attacked the Lodge while I was away last week…the results look pretty damn fine…unfortunately we don’t have much in the way of a logical before/after sequence (will we ever learn?) but what looked like this…

Looking off the front deck…all smoothed out now – might be able to add a hairpin to the twins racing track…

The water tanks all better now – a Boxing Day team effort….

Nasty tight damp back path and the BBQ on the edge of the wilderness….

…It’s now looking rather different with clear access all a round the back of the house now and with the lawn extended past the punga grove….first rain should let us know if the ‘fall’ towards the pond and the stream is set up right…it probably makes more sense if you’ve been here and know how it all goes together….

Above: what WAS a narrow path you you barely get through with an armload of washing….

Above: A shot of the redeveloped (after Treescape and The Lines Company butchered it in 2005) punga grove – two weeks ago that was just a ditch with pungas overgrown with bracken and blackberry…

Lulu looks a bit unsure about it all – there’s probably a good bone or two buried way deeper now than they were a few days back…

It will look better once it’s all green again…hopefully in time for Terri’s next visit….
