G'day,
Well today I became bored after sittin 'round for 3 day's due to the rain, although we needed it. So I went for drive to Collarenebri to check out the Barwon R., see if it is flooding yet, it wasn't.

Driving out there listening to 2WEB AM 585 on the radio I learned that the Barwon may flood north of Collarenebri in the next few days, so I might go out there again in a few days time with my camera & camcorder.
On the way back I saw a Wedgy (Wedged Tail Eagle)

, I need a bigger lens because I couldn't get close enough before it took off,



it was feeding on roadkill (Emu I think).

Today 17th Nov 09

G'day,
Well today here on the farm things went ok, we got a few things done before it got too hot. They said it got to 41C in Moree. I spent a few hours here in front of the air conditioner, it's still warm outside this evening.
I linked a couple of my other sites, Flikr (slideshow), and I was able to embed a video that is on my youtube channel into my previous post on here.
A friend invited me to go fishing/camping Saturday night just gone,


I had a great time, learned a few things about freshwater fishing.
We didn't catch much, except this Turtle (or is it a Tortoise?),

it went back into the water
And some Carp which we left on the bank.
My mate caught some yellow belly but they were a bit small so they went straight back in.
I'm still trying to understand blogger and what I can do and not do with (or to) this blog.

G'day,
Hope you are well, & happy.
Not much happened today at work worth writing about, but after work I took some video footage of some harvesting that is happening near where I live. I've yet to down load it, then it will need editing before I can show it on my Youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/dgls57 and maybe on here.
I worked on the grain harvest in '05, I drove a tractor towing a 25ton bin (chaser or haul-out bin), so it was good for me to watch this afternoon. I could probably have done some harvest work this year because my boss said there is not a lot of work until the irrigation starts. But I also need time to myself a bit.
I've accepted an invitation to attend a dinner with some of the Jesus racing supporters in Sydney next month at Homebush bay, to do with the V8 Supercar event (Sydney 500) on the first weekend of Dec. So I will take my camera & camcorder.
