In the beginning

Here's the gully as we've started working on it. It's full of lantana, thick long grass, logs, probably snakes (we've found some shed skin), and assorted other nasties. There's certainly a lot of lizards (not that they're very dangerous). It's a hellish job trying to clear it out. The heat is unbearable, and then come the flies. Swarms of black hairy bastards like miniature helicopters buzzing and landing all over your face, in your ears. It's great when you make some progress, but as fast as we clear it, it's growing up behind us again. So your constantly having to poison everything. There's got to be an easier way.
