​No the yellow boxes have fresh apple in it. And the other have the cinnamon lure. Today too I did go Piccadilly Line and Circle Line. No possums today. Actually Circle Line will be off limits for a while. Many slips have come down and I think we lost two more traps in one of those slips. Just could not find them and where I looked was a slip.
 
Also the walkway in that part has big cracks in it. So have to wait until it dries all out. But I made it through and the other side is fine. So I can access most traps from the top. All these slips made now my decision to work on the gully first and I found a good access point not too far from us. I can walk there. Or take the car through the farm.
 
The river is still murky and flowing fast. For the next few days we have peeps in again.
 
Also the other side Waterloo Line is ok. No problems there and I have a new line of traps to put there. Always see evidence of possums and my theory is that possums always use the same track to come up from the bush to eat grass on the paddocks. So each of those track needs a trap. They just do not go sideways all that much.
 
Then when one of the gullies such as yours has had 6 to 7 possums then it stops. Must be because all possums in that line have been done. Makes sense really. Only when a new possum looks for a new place then another one might get into the old tracks.
