This is the reconstructed woodland Indian wigwam that I built in our forest. You can see the drying rack to the right, & the outside fireplace with tripod just in front.

Spoon making as an Indian Captive-18th Century.
“my master told me to
Try if I Could make me a
Spoon, and Gave me a hatchet
and told me he would
assist me in it for he Said there
was nothing more
Necessary for me to be furnished
with in my march, his
orders I quickly obeyed, and
finished my Spoon with So
much Dixterity, yt my
master
was Verey well pleased with me",
The Pote Journal 1745.

Walk In The Forest.
Inside a fox den.
Rivardenia Cretacea, a tinder bracket fungus which I found on the ground where it had fallen from a tree.
Same fungus as above which is growing low down on the trunk.
Punk Wood found in the base of a Manna Gum tree. All types of trees produce punk wood.
Fresh Kangaroo scat.

The Last Of The Three Sisters To Be Brought In. Pumpkins.
The beans and the corn are finished and it is time to collect all the pumpkins as the first frosts have arrived. I collected two large wheel barrow loads, and now I have to preserve what I can. There will be a lot of pumpkin soup dinners coming up!
