Na
That’s our driveway, you can see making its way up from the road.
The property is almost completely cleared land except for a few spats off trees(Shrubs).
You can see the home from about 1 km away.
It sits up on a slight mound.
We have some filtered views
But the property behind us an too the right are mostly treed in.
Cheers Matt.

On the firewood front, we've been on this 2.5 acre block fifteen years, there are a lot of Marri (corymbia calophylla) which grow very quickly. I thin them from time to time and use them for firewood. I cut a couple down last week and they will be in the fire in winter 2024 or 25. I split the logs with hammer and wedges as soon as they're down, into lengths I can handle, much easier than trying to split once it's dry.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Just keep the SS strainer clean where the downpipes go in your tank, keeps birds and leaf matter out of the tank.
You will get dust off your catchment roof but that will settle below the suction point of the pressure pump.
Get the best quality pump , Grundfos Pressure PumpsThe person who never made a mistake never made anything

We use ultraviolet water sterilisers at work; zero chemicals so tasteless. You don’t have to treat the entire waterflow; you can get small underbench ones dedicated to a single drinking water tap. Power consumption is pretty low but they generally need the flouro replacing annually.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

We set up concrete water tanks not long after we moved here. In 40 years I think we have only bought a few loads of water. There is a strainer on the roof collected water and a sediment filter on the water out of the pump going to the house. I change that filter every 6 months.
A couple of times, during the droughts we have had, we have had the odd dead bird, and once dead possum get caught in the tank's screen and while they were rotting there guts went into the tank. Yeh Yuck!!! To fix the situation and not lose any water I put Pool Chlorine Shock Treatment into the water then waited a few days and.....we were able to use the water again.
When we visit someone on town water you certainly know its town water. You can smell the Chlorine in the water as well as taste it. I think I much prefer tank water to "safe town water". In the 40 years we have been here we have never had "Delhi Belly" from our waterJust do it!
Kind regards Rod
