Russell and I rescued some tree's from land clearing and used them as posts to build our little humpy to live on our block in 1988.

Fencing our block in Nome with our blue heeler Max.

Our block had been cleared when the area was subdivided. Our blue heeler, Max helped Russell and I fence our block.

The Billabong then....

Lovingly we planted out our very own mango tree plantation in 1989.

When the developer cleared they filled in the waterway, so it wasn't long before we got machinery to dig it back out so we could landscape the billabong.
