I saw your property at the Christmas AGM and I'd love to come and have a look again now there has been some rain. I hope all your detailed planning has been a success and works as you want it to. Lots of best wishes to you, Georgie and the kids, love, Lenore Kym, you are amazing. I saw your property at the Christmas AGM and I’d love to come and have a look again now there has been some rain.

Glad to hear the cover crops are going so well over at your place. Be great to write up a little article that showcases the effects of such "re-constructive earth surgery" on a 1 acre site. I have lots of pics if you like! Cheers Nick. We can't wait to see al those subtleties in action! Spring time will be interesting for a comparison with the surrounding landscape, as we would have had 5 months of dry by then. Thanks for your advice Paul along the way when we had our cuts and bruises. As you say, you take one step in the direction that nature wants and it takes 9 along with you. The place has literally come alive. Thanks for all of your support.....Kym, Georgie, Jack & Dylan Thanks Heather! Glad to hear the cover crops are going so well over at your place.

I am always amazed on the value that good earthworks give a property, not just in water holding capacity but as a living haven, What a difference! The owners planned carefully, got a few cuts and bruises along the way but nothing stopped them and they not have it done...well done Regards: Paul Taylor I was on the property when the work began, and to see the difference in just a matter of weeks is amazing, I am already looking for a place to hang my hammock, I expect that the dams will be full in the next few weeks and ducks will be in the water (and on the plate) in the next months.

We are also watching a transformed landscape in our backyard thanks to your implementation of the principles you have just described in your article, and it's looking great. The rain is timely and saves us having to irrigate while the cover crop is growing madly and has even overtaken some of the fruit trees. We will have to put in some stakes so that we can see where they are. The natives are all doing well too. Cheers to You Georgie Jack and Dylan. Well written Kym!
