That is a very beautiful place cudgee. I wish I would have made it to your country when I was in the Navy.

The new sheep yards are under cover and can pen 4000 sheep. Impressive.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you don't get much snow there.

Nice country and nice pictures.

Nice country and nice pictures.

Can snow in some of the areas when we get deep cold snaps coming up the the Antarctic, but yes you are correct, not much in this part of the state.

Thank you, cudgee.

The roof on that beautifully designed and nicely built sheep pen doesn't look like it will hold much weight.
A very impressive structure.

Looks like a really choice property. I've wondered if dingos are a threat to the sheep. If so are dogs used to keep dingos away?

[Mumbleypeg]

Beautiful country cudgee! I recommend you go ahead and buy the place!

Dingoes are a threat to farm animals especially new born, but more up in the high country where it is less inhabited, they shy away from humans. Foxes take a lot of new born lambs in the area i posted, dogs are not used to keep dingoes away. Over here we have a high feral dog population where domesticated dogs have escaped into the bush and gone feral, a big problem, wild dogs and dingoes are usually nocturnal which is their defence mechanism. In country Australia, dogs are not allowed to roam, if your dog came onto my farm and i did not recognize it as your dog i am well with-in my rights to shoot it. But it is a choice property.

Expressions of interest only, that rules me out, but probably not you.

Thanks for the input cudgee.

Wow! Cudgee that is amazing. I’d live to see them work the sheep out there. I’m with Ken, you really ought to buy that place!

There used to be a pack or two of feral dogs where I grew up. They typically went back to their “homes” to get fed but would pack up all hours of the day and night and cause issues. But they’ve all been “taken care of” now.

It’s the same here out in the country. Dogs straying onto someone else’s farm are at the mercy of the land owner. Most of the time they’re allowed to pass on through unless they’re causing mischief. If they are......

It’s been raining here lately - a lot. We got another 2 inches yesterday. The ground is saturated. Yesterday during a lull in the deluge I went for a walk-about to check on things. Here’s a couple of pictures.

First the front creek. You’re looking at the upstream end of an 8 foot diameter tube (old railroad tank car with the ends cut off) the creek runs through. I estimate it was 75-80% full. The creek has overflowed it only twice that I know of in almost 40 years.

And this earthworm that was in the gravel road. The ground is so saturated these guys are coming up for air. Believe it or not this one is at least two feet long - biggest night crawler I’ve ever seen!

Agree, they are cuties.

Thank you gentlemen, we raise them for 14-16 months, about 280-300 lbs, some of the finest pork in the country.

Looked out my bedroom window the other day at about 5:30 pm and saw this glowing Red Ti plant set aflame by the late afternoon sun.

As I was taking the photos, I noticed this little guy keeping a watchful eye on me while soaking up some of the warm afternoon rays

This morning a Red Ti on the east side of the house caught the morning rays of the rising sun.

The beauty of nature never ceases to amaze me.

This King snake was a wonderful surprise for me when I discovered him in my office this afternoon. A merry time ensued.

Was he after the mouse on your computer?

[EWMailman]

QS--methinks your idea of a 'merry time' differs greatly from my own.
