The beginning

         October 2006

I had a hole dug for a new water tank I purchased at the time I renovated my pool area the soil removed from the hole was pure clay, this was placed in the middle of my intended rainforest enclosure to act as fill as it was low laying and needed to be filled. I then had the idea of making a fish pond and waterfall incorporating a fish pond I purchased from ebay.

These photos were taken after the bobcat finished a bit of a mess I know with lots to do.

These photos were taken after some hand molding

and a few hours knee deep in water and clay this was the start

Pie tries out the new enclosure

Brought some more plants and decided to put up a temporary Shade house till the roof

goes on as some of the plants were getting burnt in the mid day sun.

Started planting Ferns etc underneath the existing trees

Sand underneath the pool liner

Pool liner place in fish pond and filled with water.

Unfortunately its wrong so have to empty the water and start again

Work was stopped on Enclosure as I had to build a kitten area in the house as Diva's kittens were starting to trash the place.

I had to reposition the black linner so progress has been slow but her it is finally completed. The sheep got in to this area and ate $300 with of plants so plants will be replaced slowly as I buy new ones.

This is my stud pens and also kitten day pen, I like Kittens to be able to enjoy a day in the sun as the house gets

way to hot during the day when I am at work

will add more photos as more work is completed

Well its been most likely 12 months since I have updated this page haven't done as much as

 I wanted to the enclosure as i have been working on other projects as well as

 Herding and Show Commitments.

BUT

the cats are finally in and after I replace the plants the Sheep ate should look pretty good
