Above are photos from our initial planting of trees and shrubs on the Birchmans Estate Greenway. It occurred on a 35-plus degree summer's day in the heart of the millenium drought, 2009. Today we did additional plantings of eucalypts and acacias, filling in some of the gaps. A freezing cold winter's day (6 degrees, feels like 2 degrees, according to BOM) in another terrible drought that has yet to be named.
