Some days are diamonds
« on: April 27, 2012, 09:41:14 PM »
I'm doing a lot of weed survey work atm (that's when I'm not killing them).  Today I got up into a mountain range following a major creek.  I stopped at one of the number of waterholes along its length and waded in for a photo. Whilst the chance of a saltie was slim at best I'd thought I might spy a freshie or a fish, even a barra. 

I wasn’t long in knee deep water when the locals came around for a bo-peep.  I'd kick up a bit of mud and they'd get a bit excited swimming around my legs.  I threw in a couple of spiders and immediately I had friends for life.  Next trick was to rattle the water with my fingers and got a couple of nips for my troubles. 

All that was left was to share a bit of lunch with them before being on my way.   

As for the weed count, in a place like that you'd expect it to be a bit unspoilt, wasn't dissapointed

Great office you have there Dick. Id be a bit careful though, there's clearly stirrings of interest in your patch. Could be an imminent invasion of Sweetwater mob. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
John

We have to think about that Sweetwater Bus Dick, can you handle a mob up there.
