Planting day at Cockpit Sun 26 Sept 2010

We had a perfect day for planting this morning with it being overcast and not too hot and with showers forecast for the next few days. Thanks to Jimbo who backed his truck with the trees and equipment halfway up the slope; it wasnt such a hard slog to carry the trees into their positions for planting. Thankyou to Jimbo Tavener and Wayne Derby who got on the hole borers and Alison & Lindsay Ford, Ben Hayes, Lou Tavener, Dick Massicks and Allan Tavener who got in and planted the 55 trees who had. Thankyou too to George Nebauer who got in and whippersnipped the low area and driveway - it looks great and it wasnt easy with the long grass throughout.  We must also thank the Forestry Dept who supplied us the trees at no cost.

Ignore the date shown on the pics - Jimbo's camera wasnt set right
