More from the hills


Here is Steve examining a hole dug by wild hogs, they are angry wee fellahs and like eating roots, which is unfortunate for all the native plants. All these feral animals, cats, fox's, pigs etc were all introduced when white men came to oz and are responsible for destroying nearly 80% of native wildlife.

Pigs mark their territory by scraping teh bark off trees with their tusks, this one was as high as my knee, just to give you an idea of the size of these pigs!

Here is part of a pig trap we built. The pigs get in and cant get out, then Steve has to come down and sort them out.
