Halfway

110psi Water Pressure to be Released We are happy to announce the arrival of water at Kumbartcho (now named Bimbul). Removing all air from the pipe ensured that we achieved the expected 110psi, plus. When connected to our soon-to-arrive Powerspout generator, we hope, it will produce upwards of one kilowatt per hour, every hour of…

Kumbartcho Up Update

Kumbartcho (native for Hoop Pine) is a happening thing. Out of the ground and looking very insignificant. Which is great. We tried to minimise its impact but have been overly pleased by the way nature has done it for us. I hope you like the photo. It shows the skelelton of a structure in the…

Kumbartcho is starting to take form despite persistent rain and clay type soils that turn gumboots into cement shoes. We’re at the stage of putting joists over the beams so we can nail our floor down. The pace is rapid and in the experienced hands of our builders, Kev and Chris, it is certain and…

Revegetation Summer Review

We’re proud of the tree plantings and weeding on Wongari near Christmas Creek, just three kilometers to walks in the Lamington National Park, in the shadow of Buchanan’s Fort, and stretching up Waterfall Creek to Lamington Falls situated in the Mcpherson Ranges and part of the Boarder Ranges, and is our contribution to managing…

Restoration November 2013

A second sweep of the creek has been completed and planting is well under way as we space trees to build upper and middle canopies with fill from scrubs and smaller plants. All the plants are native to our area and are provided by Bushnuts from Tallebudgerra. Bushnuts are also responsible for the initial push…
