22.01.2022 have been noticing for a couple of weeks that there has been a yellow-faced honeyeater flying in and out of the rosemary bush. this morning we spotted the reason why. definitely a lady who holds her nerve to protect her chicks. this nest is only inches away from our pathway through the veggie patch, we must have passed her by dozens of times since she built the nest.

18.01.2022 signs of progress with land clearing and construction of access roads for Bolivia Hill Upgrade work. sadly, signs of drought and dry hazy days also

16.01.2022 beginning to see the shape of things to come with the Bolivia Hill upgrade. can't wait to see the first of the pylons going up.

16.01.2022 this could be the rain we've been hoping for; 12mm over night and another 10 so far this morning; nice and steady= soaking in. it's 11oC outside; a great day to stay indoors, kick back in front of the fire and enjoy !

15.01.2022 it's been a long time coming, but last week we saw the start of the Bolivia Hill Upgrade Project with site offices being assembled near Pye's Creek Road. expected to take at least 2 years to complete, the upgrade includes the construction of over 300 metres of bridge on the western side of the existing highway. sadly, this means that until further notice The Gatehouse will be unavailable for short-term bookings. we will miss our guests and their canine companions; but we hope to make best use of this forced down-time by undertaking some upgrades of our own

12.01.2022 the artist with the big yellow paintbrush has layered Bolivia Hill with sunny wattle colours; and the scent in the evening and early morning is just delightful

11.01.2022 Today's exercise in camouflage: a Nobbi matches his pink tail so well with our pink granite boulders, and Burton's Snake Lizard disappears into the leaf litter. The extremely dry winter has claimed many of our mature trees, but recent rains have brought up the Donkey orchids (Diuris spp) for a much needed splash of sunny yellow. On Wednesday, we took the opportunity to show off the view from the top of The Cave to some Gatehouse guests, so good to see Bolivia Station looking a more pleasant shade of green again.

07.01.2022 26mm rain last weekend (which is more then we've had for the previous 3 months combined) and at last some spring flowers have opened. shared this cool morning with a kooka, a willy and a male superb blue wren (but i think he was trying to tell me something)

04.01.2022 Close Encounters of The Echidna Kind on Bolivia Hill today. What a treat :-)

02.01.2022 you never know what you'll see on the way to the chookhouse some mornings; was totally distracted by this boy and girl satin bower bird; we are on the edge of their range and don't see them all that often; the male kept his distance but the female happily ignored me and kept on foraging; hope they stay around to nest this spring
