Can you spot the curlew.
The Bush Stone-curlew is native to Australia with a very broad habitat. They are a bush dwelling wader.
|
|
 |
January 2011
Otherwise known as the Bush Thick-knee or Southern Stone-curlew, this Bush Stone-curlew has been hanging around our park for a few weeks now.
|
|
 |
The curlew has been attracted to our park because of all the recent rains.
|
|
 |
This one has taken up residence in our camping ground.

Another cabin comes in to Murray River Hideaway
November 2010
|
|
 |
Again we had issues with trees
|
|
 |
The gutter gets torn off as the cabin is threaded through the trees
|
|
|
 |
The gate post is removed to make more room
|
|
 |
Finally in the park
|
|
 |
Just put it here please
|
|
 |
Now the cabin needs to be raised above flood levels
|
|
 |
At last!
|
|
 |
This 2 bedroom cabin is now ready for our tourists. It is also for sale $70k
|
|
 |
The Murray River in flood. Sep '10.
There was a lot of conjecture this week as to the likelihood of our park flooding.
|
|
 |
Finally, the Barmah National Park gets a drink.
Hundreds of thousands of megalitres are released into the Murray system.
|
|
 |
The banks of the river eventually overflow.
|
|
 |
The floodwater ultimately reaches the levee bank.
|
|
 |
Everybody kept a close eye on the water level
|
|
 |
The flood remains comfortably contained within the levee.
|
|
 |
What's this coming down our road!
Steve and Jacqui Day are regular Annuals in our park who are upgrading to a cabin.
|
|
 |
Steve and Jacqui have 2 teenage children (Taylor and Courtney) and needed a bit more room to spread out.
|
|
 |
It was a long day. First there were delays because of fog on the Hume Fwy then they needed to negotiate Wasers Rd.
|
|
 |
At 5.5 metres wide, this is the widest load that can be transported on public roads.
|
|
 |
Congratulations on a well organized move.
|
|
|
 |
One for the bragging board!
Sash Poposki (centre) managed to reel in a huge cod while fishing nearby. The stats are 1.04m and 18kg. Now that's a cod!
|
|
 |
Sash was ably assisted by Sam Kaptan (left) and Sal Demasi (right). The boys are all from the Northern Suburbs. This beauty was caught Saturday morning 17 April 2010.

Help is at hand!
Thanks to Matt and Heather the job moves along quickly.
|
|
 |
Keep at it.
We need the roof on before dark.
|
|

Now we're getting somewhere.
Maria and Matt do the heavy lifting, Phil makes himself useful while Heather ensures everything runs smoothly.
