Overview
Wed March 5
A very dull threatening day. Father + I started out for the North Block with the 202 wethers dipped yesterday. Got just beyond Best’s + found river in flood so bought them home again. Jim + I put in day splitting rimu posts for CK-Swamp paddock fence. Channings finished cutting drain through main swamp – 10 chains in length + 2 ft 6 ins deep + 2 ft 3ins wide at top narrowing to 1 ft at bottom. He had a big job –tree + raupo roots in large numbers. It cost Father 9/- per chain but was cheap at price.
