Back to our Naval Veterans' yard again today, boy, does that pond scum multiply quickly in this weather. Only there three days ago and had to clean the scum again, as soon as I can find the pool rake under the tall grass we'll make in roads.

Here is a bonus for Operation Unity SA and the people we help. We always hear the term 'Collateral Damage', we have the term 'Collateral Benefit'. A lot of our Veterans derive enormous benefits for the animal kingdom. What we do often benefits our Veterans and their companions. Here are some quotes from one Veteran "I wasn't expecting the backyard work and Lila is appreciative of it." and "Hi Uncle Bill. I'm so happy out the back. Thanks Lila." We'll be doing some work with Lila and her Dad in the very near future.

Some of today's work. Back to our Naval Veterans' yard. Where we have cleared, grows back pretty quickly. Where the wild grass has grown thick it is tough, if you put it together, you could tow a car. If you have tried to dig up bamboo roots, that is what this is like. We have managed to completely clear the path between the pool and the house today, which is a win. The level in the pool is dropping, between the lack of rain and the removal of the damaged pool cover. Fresh pool scum was removed today as well. Instead of all the before's followed by all the afterwards, these images are in the before and after of each section to make it easier to see the difference.

To all, request for assistance. No heavy work, physical work to do. We are looking for a Veteran who can check on another Veteran living at Coober Pedy maybe just have a chat with him. Please call myself on 0403 337 772 or contact Justin WHARTON at the Southern HUB.

It was the hidden cost, now we are beginning to know better.

Day two in the foothills, bit warm again when working and in the sun but the atmosphere is great. First 9 images before work today, next 5 afterwards. Little bit more clearing done, and 2 areas cleared of growth over the path. Another area clear through to see the fence line. Green waste and firewood piles are bigger and took two big bags of green waste to our place for the greens bin.
