Diving

Some years ago I was given the job of removing this anchor from Belmore basin harbor in Wollongong

it was heat treated to stop the salt corroding it to a pile of rust and was painted in epoxy paint and given to the coast guard.

It ended up at hill sixty in Port Kembla. It came from one of two wrecks that sunk in the area. These wrecks are to be found in about 100 feet of water in the left of the bottom photo. I can not think of the names of the ships and this is from the earlier wreck.The other wreck might have been the Bombo which came to grief in the early 1900's.The first wreck was in the late1800's or early 1900's I know it had a girls name something like Jane or Alice but I'm guessing.

Cabbage moths

To chase off cabbage moths.
You need a chook (hen) with no coloured feathers at all that is totally white,  when she lays an egg use the egg as you wish,  and keep the shell and break this up and place around tomatoes or other cabbage moth food plants.
I don't know weather it is the shell or the smell of the egg or both but cabbage moths will fly away leaving your plants alone. Dont believe me try it but it must be a totally white egg from a totally white hen.
Why do white hens lay white eggs and brown hens lay brown eggs and black hens don't lay black eggs?

Not bad from the first photo which I will display when the boat is totally finished on the same page for comparison..Crikey its two days till Christmas..cheers Stewart
