An old photo of the house as it was about 60 years ago.

At the bottom. The temporary wooden supports have since been replaced by soil and the track extended a little.

At the top. The high bridge has yet to be completely restored.

Robert practice driving his new engine.

Back for improvement, but still able to drag some kids around the garden.

Meanwhile, here's another load of soil to fill in some low spots. Any remaining at the bottom will fill the lowest embankment. This can all be done Ffestiniog style: just by gravity.

Pip, one our taller visitors, was able to reach up high enough to get a rope on the tree to encourage it to grow straight again. (it was straight until last year when the weight of creeper pulled it down towards the bridge deck.)

Temporary track into the cutting - nearly enough fill to widen the enbankment enough to lay new track.

If you have seen one brush tail possum you have seen them all, unless it's on the way to the shallow space between the ceiling and the flat roof.

Driving car end just painted.

The solar panels are off and the electronic controls are being improved, so this is a test run with one of our "get you home" relay controllers.

View of the bottom end.

Ready to descend after a hard day's bush regeneration: pruning lantana to get to the base, then cutting and painting, etc.

Next time we won't use our ex-Canada Bay recycling crate, it doesn't mate with superseded Willoughby or Sutherland crates.

Ready for the next lantana-fighting session.

Which one of us brought this fellow home?

Good progress - now to pack up and replace the barrier.

It was dry when we set out by train and foot for the top of the hill.

The macrozamias don't fruit every year but this year several did.
