The wet season downunder: Hubbie's rather ugly diversionary wall seems to be working.

The wall looks to be very effective. Can always grow something appealling in front, or even in the cracks. :-)

if it does the job.....

It certainly has been doing the job Sandra!

GT ... it's just bedrock in the section in front of the little wall ... we'd have to build up a garden bed and that would require watering ... that's a big deal when you're trying to keep what you've already got growing in our mostly dry conditions. I'm still thinking on this one though ... had thought of trying to grow something in between the blocks ... but it might just get ripped out when this type of rain starts falling again. Food for thought.

Crikey Bernie, you certainly have to learn to garden in extremes round your way don't you ?

It's never dull Muddy!!

Added appropriately to GoYpedia Flood Damage and to Bricks !

Oh TT ... hubbie will be impressed that his work of art is being recognised! LOL ... I'm not so sure this ... um... rather unsightly looking construction should be recognised as a way of preventing flood damage!! I suppose it does work though.

I've put all your latest series of pics on Flood Damage...
some really amazing photos.
Congrats hubbie on the brickwork....Lol.

He's available for hire ... got any brick work to be done!

Maybe we should put hubbie on GoYpedia Bricks. Lol.

He ... he... Lol! Love it!

Cheeky!... Homebird! He's usually pretty good at this sort of work but there was just no love in this effort ... he was sick and not in the best of humour when he did this! Needless to say ... I said it was 'just fine!' at the time.

Homebird ... hubbie's fine now and he's a little miffed that I called his lovely handiwork 'ugly' but I'm sticking by my feelings about it, especially considering you can see it in plain sight from our front verandah ... not a good look at all.

Oh yes ... there were plenty! Horrid creatures! There's absolutely no saving grace with those things, is there?
