Almost there!

Big team back for further pond preps on Good Friday. Rick, Frank, Dad, Andrew, Paul & me. Tim's away after a stag and Tom at Warbirds over Wanaka. We had to fix a walkway between boat landings where the bak was collapsing, trim back the overgrown willow trees around Puru and Willpow Pond maimais, fix the McLennan's maimai wall, feed out and last but not least build a spillway to stop bank erosion around DOC's ill founded and stupid dirt dam. Another big day out, but always feels good to get on top of those jobs. Even gave the hut a vacuum clean! Yup, that's right, a vacuum in the duck hut. Lots of ducks araound, all last weekends hand feeding eaten, the big feeders well trodden around but unfortunately the new feeder seemed not to be working. Who knows why? Next weekend is tea tree day. That'sll be the last big mission pre-season, barring taking in the dekes. :)
