These two French HelpX girls, Lea and Cecile, stayed with us for a week in early February 2020 and were an enormous help in weeding my rainforest plant nursery and planting Buffalo grass runners following the devastaing impact on my lawns by the 2019 drought. The original plan was to begin removing dead Bangalow palms and dead Cabbage Palm palm fronds from the forest however the mosquitos were very problematic until the heavy rains of 8-10th February came and filled the dam at the same time flushing the mosquitos downstream.
Fortunately while the rain was consistent and very good it was not enough to cause widespread flooding although the creek did break its banks for a couple of short periods.
It was good to hear though that as the rain came down Mid Coast Water finally pulled the level 4 water restrictions back to level 2. Hopefully we'll soon hear that they will be removed entirely.
