Platypus and Paddocks

Yesterday Geoff and l took the goats, dogs etc down to the river and we saw a Platypus! Amazing! It was swimming in the middle of one of the ponds before it goes under the bridge. We could have probably watched it for longer until a certain orange goat came flying around the corner and scared it away!The previous owners had said there were Platypus in the Rivulet but it was lovely to see one with our own eyes!
On Sunday morning Mighty Martin came around with his slasher and did a days paddock clearing for us. The paddocks look fantastic with all the weedy high growth gone and clumps of blackberries and reeds too. It was a job magnificently done and we as always love him dearly! Go Mart!
The animals love the easy walk trails it created!
The Main Man of the Day!
In several areas Geoff had to walk in front to peg out the rocks which stuck out a bit too far!
 l think Geoff wants one!
The paddocks looking fine!
The little goats are going well. Lizzie is a fairly bland sort of a little goat and is happy to go with the flow and doesn't seem to get stressed about anything. Probably a good thing as the OTHER one certainly makes up for it. l sat with them for  a while in the sun this afternoon while they played on the rocks.Lizzie soon settled down to enjoy the last warm rays but Toggles would do no such thing. Trying to get a photo of her is near impossible! l resorted to having to hold the camera away from ME as that's where she always is! Either on my lap or trying to be! Here she was trying to eat the camera strap.............l think we have created a monster..................
See any resemblance????
