Instead of a waterfall we decided a water chute would be more appropriate beside the old mine site. So today I purchased some old hardwood fascia (200mm wide planks) and created 2 x 3m chutes from it. Then I needed to construct some frames for them to sit on down the slope to the bottom pond area. It has been an all day project and fortunately there has been no rain thus far. The bottom pool needs emptying and fixed up prior to installing a pond liner, sand, gravel, rocks and planting. Then the path areas need crusher dust, other parts mulching, more planting and we will be about done for this area for now.

Water flow is going to be via a solar powered pump (no battery)
- this will fill the old concrete laundry tube at the top. When the tub is full, a siphon will come into play and the water will empty down the chute back to the bottom pond.

One day my yard will stop looking like a construction site!
