A visitor hopped in to view the ponds
I put this picture up for our English readers. Hello to Jon and Carol in Essex England . Notice the pebble in the background.
Different growths for different folks
It would be helpful to discover why some fish grow faster than others, this disparity in growth rates could cause a problem for future farming especially in open ponds like the ones I have constructed.
The Curdies river
This is the Curdies river in the southwest of Victoria it rises in or about the stoy rises near lake Purrumbete and flows through the Curdies valley until it reaches the sea at Peterborough, As you can see it has great habitat for blackfish but none have been caught there for years at least to my knowledge if anybody has information to the contrary please let me know. the rivers and creeks in the southwest should hold populations of blackfish and they don’t WHY. contact me on my mob /0407843998
Mount Emu creek
Mount Emu creek is a substantial piece of water that drains a large area north of Camperdown in western Victoria and empties into the Hopkins river above the Hopkins falls near Warrnambool. talking to people in the area about the creek the word is that Blackfish were present some time ago but nobody has heard of any recent catches if anybody has any information about the fish in the creek please let me know, this creek is accessible to fishers at varies points along the length of the creek and should have river blackfish in it why does it not. As you can see by the debris on the bridge pylons this creek can flood 
My groyne got wet
We had just over sixty mils of rain in the last rain event and it has partly filled pond no 4/ ponds two and three are about half full just behind pond four. You can just see a hint of new grass emerging it will hold the ground together during winter rains.

Moths
I have been collecting moths to feed the fish in the morning.
GRUBS
Above top is a casing that this grub leaves behind when it hatches, today I found one that is just about to hatch into a moth, I feed the moths to the fish they should be full of nutrients and fats which is ideal for the fish coming into the lean time of the year.
