This week i have been fencing in Bendigo. Conservation volunteers are building new fences for farmers who's fences were damaged by the 2008 Victoria bush fires which burned accross the state for almost a month and killed 173 people. The project has been on going since 2008 and it is estimated all the fencing will be complete in about a months time. We have pulled down around 3km of damaged fencing this week and rebuilt it. It was quite hard work as we were out in the sun all day with no shade and the wire from the fence has cut me up a treat. But good weather meant lots of BBQ's and cold beers so it's been a good week.
I've got two weeks left doing conservation work before a well deserved week off. I'm planning to go to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay on the East coast of OZ. I'm in the process of booking accomodation and flights (flying is cheaper than getting a bus and the busses take up alot of time, i want to make the most of my week off). I'll finish my week off in Sydney before starting work again. I also get $150 allowence from my charity which is much needed as Australia is sucking me dry!
