Cant remember what the fuck this shit is called (it's called Australian pigface haha looked it up) but I planted the one in the first pic like last year/year before as erosion control and it's come down the bank and right out into the creek. Every so often I walk around the property and find more of them randomly growing and transplant them in spots along the bank. And when it grows up the bank and once it spreads across the top I cut that section back and move it to new spots along the bank. It also does extremely well being submerged in water for 3 months as the winter creek fills. Eventually the entire creek banks should be covered in it and the peaks of the banks I'll most likely grow salt bush as a secondary line of defence since they have more prominent root structures and as animal fodder. Apparently it's not to shabby as a herb also but fuck knows I ain't had it before haha

Toilet fully installed. Added some off cut tile to the back for a shelf and got everything else hopefully water tight using some silicone as a O ring, let that dry for a few days then test it. Will obviously still need to dig in a septic system and then that will be ticked off done

Also set up a pump in the new pump shed.
Threw a cable through the wall as well and set it up so that the connectors "guard" faces downwards keeping out any random rain that magics its way over there hahahaha.
Good thing about these pumps is they have a switch on them which is handy. My last lot have always been unplug to turn off haha

Smashed together a quick down pipe with first flush system to the tank. Decided to leave the bastard where it is in the end hahaha mostly because cleaning and leveling a new area around the corner was wayyyyy more work than just leaving it where it is even if it's in the way bahahahahaha
Hopefully that's sorted the torrential downpour overflowing gutters problem haha

Fuse arrived so now the caravan is completely wired into the power. This runs from growatt two to mitigate the extra power while the sun is out of the aircon is on its using solar first over battery
Water tank now plumbed into the water transfer system also
Caravan bathroom now mostly siliconed off. Just need to add more to the underneath between tile and floor and that jobs finished completely and the shower will be usable
The new inverter rocked up and I got that hooked up in the aquaponics shed and moved the growatt back to the solar shed.
Going to buy another of these bad boys for the chicken coop power system as well. It runs pretty sweet just have to wait to see if it goes the distance.
