Rain, glorious rain!

A few months ago my brother said to me "you're a farmer now, so that means that you'll always be checking the BOM website, and you'll be obsessed with rain". I laughed it off at the time, but he's definitely right. 

Right now I'm sat inside the donga, listening to the magnificent sound of rain on the roof. Not only does it mean that it's cooled down a little outside, but all my trees are being watered and our water tank is getting a much-needed injection. 

Aside from that, it's been business as usual!

Josh and I gave the donga a scrub the other day. We vacuumed out all the sand (so much sand!) and mopped all the red dirt stains off the floor. We finished unpacking the last few boxes and hid all the suitcases away on top of the wardrobes. As awful as it was, I'm so glad we did it. This little place is a lot cleaner and more organised now!

We've had a bobcat operator in last week to remove some of the 'junk' around the place. Picking up old branches, hacking through some over-grown jungle that was too much for the whipper snipper, and levelling out some sand. We've also had a scrap metal guy come through and take away some burnt out old cars and trucks from the property. The old owner definitely was a bit of a hoarder!

It took me about two hours!
