One month ago pig damage was more or less confined to the grassy lower left hand corner of the block where the gully deepens.

 

Today there is evidence that the pigs have made their way up  the hill as far as the cross track.

 

Also seen today one fox, Wallabies, Kangaroos and extensive flowering Tea Trees.

 

Not to mention 37 species of birds, including 6 Yellow Robin, Horsfields Shining and Bronze Cuckoos (heard), Olive-backed Oriole calling, Leaden Flycatcher 4, Noisy Friarbird 2, Red-capped Robin (heard), Dollarbird heard very briefly, White-throated Treecreeper 8, and Rufous Whistlers being the noisiest, apart from Grey Fantail.
