Back Fence

This is not a rural scene, but actually my back fence. It has a great rustic charm that looks great in photos, but is not practical. And of course there's the obligatory cameo by Boulee.

The time has come to sadly suburbanise the perimeter - Colourbond fencing to the cliff. Chris, from next door, I think has been wanting a full fence for some time but the previous owner couldn't, or wouldn't, afford it. I believe that they had some disputes about boundaries.

Now what should have been a single day job ended up having complications. There was very little soil up near the cliff face, meaning a specialist drill was needed to get through the sandstone. Below you can see one of the sandstone cores that was removed from a post hole. It now makes a handy doorstop.

You also get a good view of Chris's chooks - just a part of his avian managerie which includes cockatoos and pigeons.
