A lot of work has been done over the past few weeks and it is rewarding to realise that some old dreams are starting to come true. You will realise, on the photos taken on Tuesday, that our contractors have been extremely busy.

• Homestead : the fencelines are prepared, culverts in, trees removed and the fencing gear delivered. The fencing work will start very soon.

• Pat and Sue O’Briens (Taharoa) : the fencelines around the bush blocks are bladed. The building site for our shelter is ready.

A big thank you to our contractors for their hard work.
