The joy of bush regeneration

Mosman
Before I started at Bush Regeneration, my relaxation was going down in the garden and pulling out onion weed.

When the kids drove me nuts, I just think, “right, out!” 

So I'd just go and get a bucket and I'd sit there and I'd sieve out the bulbs and I got rid of them. I’d think “great, it looks so much better”. Because when we moved here, there was bamboo from there to there and onion weed like you wouldn't believe. So it's my mesmerising bit.

I can zone out, I can relax and just think about the world, think about nothing. It's just a good way to meditate almost. It's almost a meditation with a result at the end.
