Marginal Channel Country
Marginal Country……that’s what we live in, meaning, in part, rain is marginal…… we live in a 8-9 inch (200-225mm) rainfall country, so we don’t ask for much.

Nikon and I got re-acquainted, thanks to nature
Some who don’t think a camera is an extension of oneself most likely wouldn’t understand that some, like myself, going NINE days between using your camera is like a lifetime ……..

I hope you enjoy the results.

Did you know that the UN declared 2015 as the International Year of Soils? Want to know if you have healthy soil? Collect 1/3 glass jar of soil, 1/2 fill the jar with water and shake vigorously, let settle for an hour and the organic matter will float. Measure the thickness of the float and […]
Come for a walk through New Farm Park with me
I love finding time to enjoy the city in more ways than one. Today after shopping I got to visit New Farm Park. What a gem in the middle of the hustle and bustle. I LOVE trees, especially trees with a bit of character. Jacaranda through the dense canopy of green foliage. There was an […]
Clearview Heifers: Mustering, Drafting and Trucking
We were been blessed with patchy storm rain at the beginning of the year. So we have been able to fatten cattle. But not knowing if we will get a wet season this year, since some are fat, and a bonus for us, prices are high, our management plan to cull coloured heifers were reasons to muster […]
The Little Things in Life
16 June. I have had the pleasure of spending time with friends in Brisbane, before I met up with #BossMan in Melbourne. I caught up with some very special young people in my life and while in Brisbane I got my camera and lenses cleaned. So yesterday, after dropping my camera off to be cleaned, a drive […]
