<\/p>\nWhy is it when you have the opportunity to sleep in it just doesn’t happen??? I woke at 6am (even though I didn’t set an alarm today) to singing birds and the sounds of the country. While it was certainly cold, I didn’t get the fog that was blanketing Melbourne. In fact I was greeted with a spectacular pre-sunrise view.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I ate breakfast as the sun came up, then headed over to the driveway to spread the carpet before the gravel arrived. Didn’t take long at all to complete that job, now I just needed some gravel. With nothing else to do and some time to kill, I took the bobcat out onto the road to do some work on the drain along the front… that was my biggest mistake… seconds later I was bogged!! Crap… how do you get a bobcat out of deep muddy clay??<\/p>\n I walked back to camp and brought the car around hoping I could winch it out. Took a bit of mucking around, but eventually I was able to pull it free. I’ll stay well away from the mud in future.<\/p>\n So, I spent my morning doing odd jobs with the bobcat. I filled in holes and dug some more loose soil so I have a good pile to access when I need it. Finally, sick of waiting I decided to build a log bridge across the creek using the logs I had removed\u00a0from the cattle ramp. I grabbed my fist log and motored up the back of the block in the bobcat. I had just dumped my first log when I turned around and saw a truck and trailer heading past the block up the road… damn I thought… that will be my gravel.<\/p>\n Sure enough I got a call a short time later from the driver asking where I was!<\/p>\n Anyway, Wal arrived with the gravel. I asked him to drop the first load just inside the gate.<\/p>\n![\"IMG_1838.JPG\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/caravan.mymorton.net\/caravan\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_1838.jpg\")
