Dunblane On Farm Camping

It is going to be standing room only in the west this year. Lots of interest from people wanting to see the west, and this year, we have some grass to, fat sheep and millions of grasshoppers.

The camp site in Strip paddock will be full of yabbies. Its overgrown thanks to recent rain but will be a cracking campsite late this year when people start venturing north.

Thanks to the corona, here we are about to press the show fleeces we had set aside for the Barcaldine, Longreach and Muttaburra shows which have been cancelled. Pity some of these great wools wont get exhibited but the world has bigger issues at the moment.

Bloody grasshoppers, eating us out of house and home. Just getting out of drought and now grasshoppers are consuming everything including the vital pastures we grew from recent rains. I would if someone can invent a CORONA for hoppers.

Here we are pregnancy testing some mixed age ewes. They will start lambing as the tourist season commences so many people will get to see some of these lambs on the ground.

Got the drone out and flew right up to these broglas. Did they have a nest somewhere nearby or did they think, stand still and they won't notice us. Just great to have these fellas still alive at the (hopefully) end of a massive drought.

Finally getting some grass growing rain after a week of sitting around looking at radar images and weather forecasts. These drone photos show heat storms that looked great on radar but less than 5mm.

Love flying the drone around over the farm. Even spotted a wooly ewe that missed shearing, she will get a haircut when we mark the lambs. Can't be much fun carrying that 5kg fleece around in this 42 degree heat.

Violent 10min wind storm blew this sheep feeder over, all 420kg, reckon this storm might have been a good test on a caravan to find all those kitchen drawers with broken catches that don't close properly. Interestingly a empty 10,000litre water tank on a 10m high tower 1km away didnt get blown off.
