Miss Polly

Meet Polly the little lamb. We are babysitting Polly for three days for my friend Renae. It’s amazing that Polly is still alive especially when you hear her story. Polly was born whilst her mum was still trying to give birth to Polly’s twin, a fox had decided to nibble away on her. When Renae

The Golden Orb Spider

As I went to feed my chooks, something strong brushed me and I looked up to see this beauty (and then cringed, stepped away quickly and then felt like I had spiders crawling all over me!) Their webs are so thick it’s like walking into strong cotton. When we play golf there are heaps in

The Tree

For those of you wondering what the ‘tree’ looks like, that I talk about or wrote about in The Family Farm, here is a picture. I did this up for a special friend leaving the district and I wanted her to take something of Pingaring with her. Everything in this photo frame came from the

Got this pic of the storm over the A type bin across the road from our house. Wish I was at the top of the bin, I could have got some great pictures (along with getting fried mind you!).

Hopetoun

An eager boy waiting for bait so he can start fishing in the river. We were amazed at how low the river was since the last time we were there and the dead tree’s about after the hot scorcher they had only a few weeks back. It must have been real hot as birds were

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

Runaway truck

A local contractor had the unfortunate problem of his truck rolling away whilst he was in the sample hut waiting to for the results. It apparently started slow…then built up speed as it hit the slope and went through the fence, stopping just before the main road on the other side. Replacing three tyres and
