Youth Raft Race

In the weekend, Stephan went to the Youth Raft race.
It was held at the Anglesea river mouth. So on a not so warm day, the youth were racing rafts?

Anyway Stephan's raft came in 3rd place of the 13 that were there. It came third due to Stephan Pushing Power mostly. as the river was shallow most of the way.




Catching frogs

At the new house we have found the wherever there is a damp spot in the garden frogs will hide.

So on Saturday morning while lifting so boards for the garden we found some Stripped Marsh Frogs.
They are common in this area, but needed to be moved for building to commence. Stephan and Lissa went out and gathered them up and relocated them to a reserve.

Lesson was; your never to old to go catching frogs.

Stephan has finally finished his "Duty to God" , He did it in just over 5 years where it should take 6 years. So he has done very well.

But near by Laverton (1km away) they coped it a lot harder they us. A lot of houses with roofs, even the local rail station was closed.
