Samaria road , Benalla.
Wet ground has prevented us from getting onto this site since June !!!
Finally nearly 5 months later we were able to sow seed in Sarah's site . We had visited the site three times earlier to check the conditions , today it was dry but up to 150mm of rain is predicted for tomorrow .
This site was beautifully prepared - sprayed three times.
It was a roadside corridor in 2 sections totalling 5ha.
We sowed 4 rows in the north section & 6 rows in the south section.
Recent floods had covered most of the site .

Over- hanging river red gums will probably have taken advantage of the wet conditions and will naturally regenerate .
Pasture growth in the adjoining paddocks was amazing.We could barely see the sheep for the grass.
Grasshoppers / Locusts seemed attacted to the bare, sprayed soil .I hope this was not a bad sign .
