.A 10x5 trailer load later and a hours work all is collected.Next morning sort some birds first reason being less places for the birds to hide.Three hours later time to re-brush.The rebrushing part only took about 1.5 hours the only thing is I will now wait untill the water subsides below as I am still 4 or 5 arm fulls short

I've been told to to use Tea Tree but I don't know where to find it, today I found some kind of brush
with very sharp needle point leaves.I think it's native,it was planted with Melaluka by the councel
near an old land fill site.

Gomer and Branches,you are not useing coastal teatree,i believe it's prickly paperbark melaluka you are useing which finches love but it's not kind to your hands or arms.
Branches,you are not that far from Oceangrove to Anglesea where coastal tea tree is and were it it regarded as a noxious weed and free for the taking if you get permission from the local councils. Craig
