Freya's Gum Nuts

First some for Jessica

Then some for Joan

Sometimes, while doing bushcare work in Inala a story unfolds.  On this day the Inala Kev Hooper Park bushcare group had already completed much of the days work and were having a well earned break.  Young Freya Schmidt had found some gumnuts on the ground from the adult trees nearby.  She was determined to make a gift of a quantity of these to everyone.  The story starts with a gift for Jessica and then one for Joan. It may seem that the females were singled out but this is not the case, the boys all got their gift as well.  Finally there was only Helene and she was missing, not to worry, found her way down the other end. "I'll just pop down there and give her these gumnuts".  So here she comes and afterwards there she goes, task completed. 

Here she comes to me, a long way away.

Job well done, back to the group

These photo's were a over a year since the group started work at Kev Hooper Park and a huge amount of clearing, planting and mulching had already taken place.  Today the same place looks very different thanks to the work of group members and even more work done every day by the natural environment.
