The weekends work was fun,but we worked hard and long hours.

Friday was welcoming until 9pm ,there was a little problem with one of the guests but it was sorted out in no time.
Saturday was very busy working gamedrives and at the farmyard,we also exterminated more of the ink berry bush on saturday.
Sunday we did more gamedrives,and I also helped to build the box for the biltong to dry in,and then I had to hang the ''biltong'' and ''droe wors'',It was a fun weekend...

Combat problem plants

We did controlling of problem plants on sondela.
The plant we took out was Cestrum laevigatum,some of the cattle ate it and they died.

We controlled them by cutting them off at the bottom and putting poison on them.

The poison we used is Roundup..

Cultural heritage-collecting of specimens

This morning we went to tambuki to look for some tools that people used in the stone age.
I found pieces of pot,that was interesting to see...you can see the markings on them.

We also found sharpening stones and peeling stones.
It is very interesting to see how the people of the stone age also melted rock to get iron and copper out of the stone...we also found slag which was part of the meltings.
