Hard News: OGB Update, in reply to Islander,
I'm over name tags. Myself and Geoff got stuck last time issuing them and it felt too kindy for me. Anyhow I'm going right now. Steve's done his preloading. :))

Will there be nametags? Shall I bring some?
Shall I bring the dog? She is blocking the front door and ready to dart as she knows we are going out. ;)

Sofie- another option is a Timms Trap?
We have the yellow box one and a neighbour has designed a humane way to catch them. He never came over after an invite but. Once we get up there permanent we will sort it out. I promise the world!

I never knew that!
They skin avocados too but they leave you the skin.

then swing over to the roof and clatter around all night making a noise like like drunken drag queens.
At least with the drag queens I get to laugh. these bastards make me jump. :). Our bush is soo quiet except for that pesky possum. Really does ruin my stargazing. They have to go :)
The photo above, check out the claw marks on our old Totara.

They’re crazy for the peel
They are crazy ,period! That is how we trapped the last one. (tree was down to just a stick) And that gorse, what's a woman in an organic area, (thanks leedle bees for my mask) to do? Tbh we don't have much in the bush, just on the outskirts and I have eliminated some of that with perseverance. I said to a friend recently, that I wanted to berid the gorse along the track, his comment, "yeah you and 3/4 of a million other people.".... Maybe a well trained goat, but covenant on hooved animals....

Bit of a panic today, but I’m really happy with the shape of it now.

You’ll be a hero if you can pull that off discreetly.
I hear the odd shot and dogs but I know its for wild boar or possum. The skreech is enough to send shivers from me the mortal. The damage to a few of our trees is evident and the local conversation is often about possum and their trouble so a gun will be inevitable once I retire. I don’t mind the trap and last supper rights etc but although we caught one ages ago, they prefer my lemon (what’s left of) tree and I just gotta harden up to deal with it. Also I (for the first time) have gained an interest in these pesky gun things. It can’t be harder than a game of pool eh? Aim and shoot. :)
So I got the pool cues so a .22 with silencer could be right up my alley. Thanks Islander.And besides, my star gazing is being interrupted, they are that bloody confident.
