Bull Nose reno’
in Canberra now, visiting the ‘rel’s’. its good to see everyone once again. i always enjoy my time here. and – as last year – i joined the excursion to a small town in the central west of New South Wales, to help out with the renovations on an older ‘Bull-Nose cottage’, so-called because of the shape of the roof on the front veranda. it’s an ongoing project – a work in progress – no rush to complete. it was time to enjoy camping out in the cottage at night, doing a lot of ‘hard yakka’ in the heat of the day (or a little – in my lazy case) and drinking lots of cool beer during the smoko’s.
this rear view will all be changed – with a wrap-around pergola. the town is very small and the surrounding area is a fertile flood plain. there are several rivers – now mostly dammed – so that the water release is managed – in order to provide irrigation for the many food crops grown on the land. some good swimming holes around in the rivers as well – so we enjoyed that !
it was fun – and great to see the place ‘coming together’. a great experience – a real slice of ‘Oz’. oh yes – and don’t forget that gorgeous dog – such good company. gotta have a dog!!
Thanks for a very lovely time !
