 Found a few more photo's of the visitor to our fishing trip

Very nice to see this guy on the river, he was not bothered by us at all but we had no hope of fishing with him around.
Moritz is quite confident with the cattle now and gets the steers through the yards to weigh and check over, but still a little scared of the cattle prod! well, yes but only when I am holding it......... really Moritz, what are you thinking I wouldn't I promise......Well maybe I would,............... who knows.  
 A day on the river fishing, when we caught over 20 fish but they get to swim for another day.
 A nice but unwelcome visitor to the fishing trip. We had to move on, there will be no fishing today with him around.
 Getting ready for winter means lots of wood cutting.



 With the wood shed full now, we got started on next years wood pile. Job well done, thank you Moritz.
O' No, while here he has created his own brew . Adding different flavours, and if they work out we will have to see if we can send a bottle to Germany for him.

 This week ( Feb. 2015 ) we welcomed Moritz from Heidlberg Germany, coming fresh from the tropical storms in Queensland he arrived a little weathered so a cold beer was very welcome. :)
 Cleaning out one of the springs that supplies the water to the cattle and vegie garden.
 Hard at work putting in a fence, and getting ready for our farm safe meat audit.
Australian's showing a German how to make beer! Moritz was very interested in learning this skill, so we think he will go home with a new hobby, watch out Dad!

February welcomed Thomas from Strasbourg,France.
 He is a good cook and happy to help in the kitchen
 and in the garden.

Cleaning out an old trough is a bit messy
Washing and polishing the tractor, on another hot day.


Thomas came running and managed the Zig Zag and Duck Reach, a good achievement! It was a really hot day but a great run.

 It's not all work, today we went out on the River Tamar

 Devonport light house.
Jack not keen to share.
 Romain helps to put some cattle through the stockyards to record their weight gain.
 No ladder required here, just cut it lower!
 Romain is cleaning down the square baler after our hay season, then to be put away for another year.


 Chipping out weeds.
 Getting the garden ready to plant for a winter crop.
Who's a lumber jack? Not us, we gave up after half an hour and will get a power log splitter.

In early January 2015 we welcomed Romain from Nice, France.
