What a contrast we have going from the Dry season to the Wet season. We went from it being so dry and having bush fire all around to wet and green in such a fast period.
We have a Huge pile of heavy tree trunks from the clearing for the buildings and we really hope to use as much of the good timber as possible. It's a massive job and so I bought a Stihl 91cc Chainsaw to help slab the trunks. It's my first time doing this sort of work and my inexperience really showed on my first few cuts. I did get better at it thank fully. This is very hard work out in the full sun 35 + Deg c when I was cutting. I cut up two logs from the pile and created a few boards that I will definitely use. I also did a little wood lathe work with some of the branches. That was fun.
It was fantastic having the family back here for Christmas 2023, good times!
During the filming of this video we experienced two Tropical Cyclones, the first was TC Jasper and the second TC Kiralee. We had no damage from either thankfully.
Lastly I had to drive down the coast to move my daughter from her apartment due to the rent going up 43% in one go! We found a place and got the move completed before I had to race back before the cyclone stopped my travel.

Thanks for watching, Regards

Scott and Judy
