Out of the Elements
Lake Fenton
Saturday 19 May 2018
The weather prospects were a bit disconcerting, but the day turned out
not too bad at all. Even at the exposed area at lake Fenton, which is subject
to the brunt of any wind, there was no problem working, even though a bit blustery
and chilly.

Greg worked out the tasks and the main jobs were completed by lunchtime.
Greg K took to the chainsaw to cut drift logs that posed a threat to the bridge
at Lake Fenton and Peter F stacked the sawn logs for firewood use.
Adrian began trimming the
track that passes the hut whilst Sue and Shirley assisted with hand loppers and
saws.
In the meantime, Greg B and Peter O installed signage, including a “you are here’ one.

Morning drink break and lunch were inside the historic Belcher Hut where
it was rather pleasant out of the elements and getting sun through the window.
With an early departure from up at Lake Fenton we had time to replace a
couple of plants on the path to Russell Falls and adjust some stakes protecting
plants. After a walk along the new track to the falls we had ample time for a
hot drink at the café and get home before dark.
