That's right I was thinking, it was some years back when our back fence was blown down during storms in Perth. While I was surveying the damage, this guy comes up to me, he apparently lived in the house I could now see, in fact he was my neighbour.

with all the rain and some sun . Clover has grown well in pasture . Only trouble is the cows eat it too fast and get a reaction in stomoch called bloat . There's a drench or solution you can spray on pasture . But at times this isn't enough . This cow was seconds from dieing before it was stabbed In stomoch to re...

Hi all, Just another thing we experienced while away. That been the Pilot light for our fridge going out in strong/ high winds while parked up out on the escartment near The SA /Wa boarder.

Hi guys Still hanging out for the caravan show at end of the month. Hubby tells me that when you choose your van and order it etc, that you can choose the type of fabrics etc you want for your dinette etc. Just thinking that the vinyl or leather which ever ones they have may be a better option for travel...
