Remember the report from Easter 2014.  The sandcastles were destroyed and the rain was heavy.

Mel's backyard

After 4 weeks of intensive activity Mel and her friends have managed to move between properties. This includes establishing fencing, water and electric fencing on the new property while cleaning up and moving out of all the outbuilding at the Sunbury property.  This would not have been possible without the assistance of a great group of friends.
Moving house is always a difficult job but when you have to also rebuild a working property at the other end it does seem like an impossible task.  We can look back now and reflect on the value and generosity of friends that made it possible.
Imagine the following to just name a few tasks:

• deconstruct a 4m x 9m stable panel by panel and move to new property
• move at least 100 loads of horse gear from out buildings to the new barn
• create water on reticulation via 2km of water pipe laid and fixed along fence lines
• create electric fences by adding over 2km of wire mounted 300mm on each side of fences
• move 20 horses
• clean up 40 acres of paddocks
  
• oh...and leave the old property spotless

The Sunbury property is now part of a sales campaign as the landlord continues to develop caravan parks in Queensland.

We were privileged to get a first visit to meet the few hour old Oliver, new addition to Erin and Adam's family.  Doting grandma Alison and father, Adam, join Marg in giving Oliver a cuddly start to life.  In the meantime Erin was resting after a fairly tough time in the delivery.

First birthday party at the new house.  Not quite a year in the new house and so much achieved in terms of work in the garden, new pergola, bonsai plants established and even the new computer working properly.
Marg, Mel and Lela had the chance to celebrate Ern's 93rd birthday over a breakfast in January.
