Texas!

 Stayed at Cunningham Weir 30 kms north west of Texas for a few days - so much flood damage evident around here. Did a bit of fishing but not sure about putting the tinnie in the Dumaresq River as there is so much debris around. Stayed 4 days and then back to Texas for our volunteeer work. John played at the Stockmans Hotel on Saturday night for dinner and drinks - good fun and they thought he was great. Not a late night - in the country now!

Outside George's Farm - check the debris in tree!!!

  Up at 6 on Monday morn and ready for work! Given free breakfast, lunch dinner and accomodation for our services which was great but not necessary but funded through the Federal relief fund. First day out to Farmer George's cleaning out sheds that were full of mud ( but now dust as it had all dried up) all the gear out, shovel the dust/mud out , all the gear in. Hard dirty work but with lots of hands helping it was great fun too. Worked that day with Cindy, Peter, Bob ( have met so many Bob's now we are going to call all the blokes from now on Bob!) and Kevin. 

 Next day after a good nights sleep out to the Kitchener Farm at Bonshaw Weir ( south of Texas) and rebuilt a new fence after the old one had been washed down the river somewhere. Learnt a lot and was a good days work! Met Dougy a Koori Ranger assigned to help us as he had a lot of fencing eperience.

John hard at work on his holiday!
