It was a surprisingly sunny winter's day for our annual planting day in the dunes near the 'big stairs' at Carri.  A small group of friends and family joined us to plant about 500 native plants to improve the dune habitat and prevent erosion.  This year was notably different from last year when I was clambering up and down the dunes whilst heavily pregnant!  In fact this year three of our team were under 1 yr old!  They didn't improve our planting rate but were a very welcome distraction!  Hopefully visitors to The Running Postman will see evidence of our team's revegetation efforts when they visit the beach.

The other recent event of note is that we had a prickly guest stay.  Like most guests, we didn't get to meet this one but there was obvious evidence of their visit.  Fortunately it was the sort of mess we love to find (you won't hear me say that very often!!).  Scattered through the garden were distinctive diggings that left us in no doubt that our garden had been visited by an echidna! Hooray!  We're hoping it enjoyed the garden so much it will become a repeat visitor.  Please make it welcome if you see it during your stay!
