This tends to happen once a month at the retreat in some form or other, and this month we got there to help the regulars. It is a very family oriented event, and there were quite a few kids. Along with their play, they would occasionally help the oldies, especially feeding the fires. On one occasion a group of them hopped aboard to travel over the property in the back of a ute. They loved that. 
Barb allowed children the use of her camera for a time, and quite a few creative snaps followed... and there were some very classic ones like the one above.
The main task this month was to help in the orchard pruning and then to burn the loads of cuttings. There was a lot to burn and we had a few fires going at the same time. Winter is the time to do this sort of thng in order to have the grounds free of fuel for the summer, especially after January's devastating bush fires.
