    What drought ??

    I threw my name in the ring to supply firewood to a tourist destination for next winter to help with my winter cashflow.

    They rang today and want me to supply 10 chalets(for starters) as of today. The tourists love wood fires even in the summer.

    I haven't even secured a supply property yet, but should get enough to make a start.

    Been spending any spare $$ buying new vehicle and mower and now have to fast track another trailer and saws. Looks like the big ZTR will have to wait a bit longer.

    Should be good once I get organised and get a stockpile here, as things got pretty skinny last winter.

    Bunyas? Nice little earner for Winter that one but wow, didn't expect Summer as well! A ute load of firewood around here isn't cheap so you should do okay from that.

    Yes Paul. Won't be too much between now and winter, but just caught me unprepared.

    Sorta hoping some of my mowing clients up there might get me to supply them too, and the firewood clients get me to mow their lawns

    the bunyas are beautiful, but those chalets are expensive! when i was living in flat dalby i used to love driving up there. never knew a person could miss hills until we moved to this corner of the world

    It sure is a beautiful place Kathryn. I always try to plan easy days work when I go up there so I have time to explore the park a bit more, but it never works out that way unfortunately.

    Just finding a secluded spot to have lunch and enjoy the birds and wildlife is pleasant enough though

    Coomba Falls is a nice spot too. Was the water running over the falls?

    I went there after a storm last year and plenty of water then.

    You should have kept coming another 25km for a cuppa coffee.

    Finally finding out that my new car is on the boat and on its way here. Should have it at the end of the month, fingers crossed. No more swapping trailers around so that I can take the cox lawnboss out, everything will be on the big trailer and I will finally be able to transport the 60" tank.
