Water is scarce in this area. We are lucky that our land comes with an entitlement for water, which comes from the mountain behind us. However, finding our water has not been easy. Fortunately, after 8 months of saga (connecting to the wrong source, water got diverted erroneously by our neighbour, deliberate sabotage, pipe trempled by cows, diminished volume etc), we got it all settled, just before we started building the cabin.

Following the pipe to trace the source of water
Best to have a long knife or stick, to scare away the snakes
Marking our pipe
The trail goes through some beautiful spots
The main pipe from the mountain
Clearing debris from our "hole"
One of these "holes" is our water.
Ingenius way of sharing water.
Finally connecting to our storage tank
Sweet sweet water, finally!
