Ranger Kieron and Joe(CVA volunteer and part time ranger - more my age/nice chap/married) took us to the fire-look out tower on Mount Allan which again had spectacular views. Previous CVA volunteers had cleared all the overgrown weeds and plants on top of the mountain and landscaped in a natural style and planted new stuff. It looked really great and you could see the hard work they had put into it - it will look even better once the plants are grown. The top of the mountain is one of the destination points where our track will join up.
Before we started work we had our 'smokies' which is the UK equivalent of our 11's. Daniel (Dutch, Joe and I built a small wall to edge the path and retain the earth and then continued to widen the path. Apparently the completed path will ultimately be 60 kms long (approx 40 miles)and has to be completed by 27 September ready for an official opening. Working with Joe was good as he did the heavier axe work and Danial and I levelled it all out. Today was really satisfying as we could see the results of all our efforts.
Finished work at 3 again as we were all fair tuckered out and then we drove to Maleney cheese shop and sampled several cheese before making our purchases. Tonight we had spaghetti bolognes which I prepared and Cameron cooked then we played some more poker before falling into bed for a well earned sleep.
