We have recently bought a small place at an EcoVillage called 'The Cape' at Cape Paterson. We look after the native plants around the village by regularly tending to weeds and picking up rubbish. We grow many of our own vegetables and we have a self sufficient power supply from solar panels and a battery. Last weekend I spent a half day walking around the village clearing paths of weeds as my small contribution the community. We have a mob of kangaroos who live close by so we do our best to make the place as kangaroo and wildlife friendly as possible.

A huge weekend. Massive clearing of long grass by hand with an old Cane Cutter blade. Then planted over 60 trees. The aim was to help our mate Jules stabilise the sloping land beneath his pool
