Welcome

It’s exciting isn’t it? I’m excited as I am heading back to the district on Tuesday and I can’t wait to see how the place looks with some decent rainfall behind it. Exciting time ahead.

It official

The drought is officially over. I had to call the man himself last week just to confirm it and yes it’s over. Jack “John” Cameron said it hasn’t been like this August 1996. It’s kinda like going to the Governor General for an election date.

All up

The Muddy, the Avon, Dogtrap, Anderson, Wallaloo, Wimmera, Richardson, they are all running with some running a banker. Now that’s worth celebrating.

No laughing matter

That smile on Jacks face could be wiped off as early as Saturday night if Julia gets the ticket to govern. I know first hand that Julia is second last on his non-Christmas card list. I think Paul Keating is still last……

Money in mud

Geez I remember the day when you had to park the ute on the road and walk around the paddock to get the sheep, I remember cutting hay in October and driving around full crabholes of water, I remember playing football in the mud week after week, I remember having to find alternative routes because the creek or river was up. There is money in mud…..

Come one, come all

The Thursday night is still going and I am looking forward to attending this week. I’m not sure who is cooking but I bet it will be delish as usual. I’m just wondering when it’s Farmer Healy’s turn????

Larry

I was driving along and just had a thought, “I wonder what Larry Cameron is up to somewhere in Asia”. No news is good news and I was told that Gre Gre’s very own Greg “Rocky” Baldwin was catching up with him. Rocky is backpacking through the same region.

Grog Bucket’s 50th

It was Greg “Grog Bucket” Falla’s 50^th on the weekend and a few select natives made the journey down Geelong way for the event. I’m told that SLF Hall of Fame member, trucking magnate and now grain guru, Bruce “Boofhead” Hendy was attending with his lovely new sidekick.

The Farm Trader

I am very lucky to have The Farm Trader as sponsor of this column, they pay me for each column which is worth mega bucks (not). So as they are my sponsor I have to keep flogging their products. So the first thing I ask each and every one of you to do is join the site. All you do is go to the “join now” button in the Sign in box. www.thefarmtader.com.au

I will see some of you this week….
