Sadness

I’m in a bit of a sad place at the moment. You see, we just lost some valuable community members (one has already gone and one is soon to go). These girls will leave such a huge hole in our community for they were actively involved. Nameless volunteering and running fundraising events and more importantly

Thunder Sunset

I took this the other night. It was still hot and a thunder storm was swirling around us. I wish I could have captured the lightning that kept sparking along the sky through the sunset. The smell of the fresh rain and the tickle you get up your back when the thunder rolls through the

I must thank this particular shearing crew for allowing me to take photo’s of them hard at work (and for the stories I heard after work…such a laugh). You may read about them in the next book. I loved Jason’s shed. It’s not like the new boring ones I’ve seen, but rather rustic and how

Little gilgies

We went out on Saturday for a swim and a small feed of gilgies..(or yabbies). We have always called them gilgies. These were a bit dirty and not overly huge but tasted great none the less. I love the claw meat, its just a bit more juicy and with a good homemade sauce, even better.

Fruits

This is just a small sample of the fruit collected from one of my trees. The taste of fruit straight off the tree is so jucy and delicious…I swear you’d never buy rock hard fruit from the shop again. These are a cross between a nectarine and a peach. Mouth watering! We’ve been drying some
