That's better

For years we've been saying that we must clear some trees from the back yard. Six months into amateur astronomy and, guess what, it's done!

A huge pine (30+m tall) is gone and a couple of scrubby other trees. One large gum tree is left. We like that tree, the planet needs it and I can observe around it.

Now the washing line gets sunshine, the grass will start to grow (when it rains) and I can rake up the 15cm deep pine needles covering much of the yard ever since we moved in.

Here are a few photos of the "bombsite" - craters to be filled and hills to be leveled over the next weeks.
