We have a stock dam between two horse paddocks where rainfall can be saved and used. Around the dam Dick has fenced off an area where he is regenerating scrub and keeping the animals away to give the new planting a chance to grow. A couple of original ancient trees were already in residence in this area. Our dam is within a chain of 8 dams - ours is the 2nd in line going gradually down to an area the locals call "scrubby gully" There's a few shots taken of our mini arboretum taken in June 2007.
