persephone Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Yesterday, my bro took me for a drive in teh country! :p he does contract goat mustering/culling ..and works quite a distance from home . Although I follow his progress via google earth ..driving the landscape was very different! travelling mostly on bush tracks ..dodging sinkholes/fallen trees ...opening quite a few gates , detouring ... it took us almost 8 hrs to do a round trip of 270 km, dismantle a couple of goat holding yards , and get home . A few shots taken - nowhere near as many as i would like - but he was on a mission ;) here is a taste : mud bubbles in a puddle Some very old sheep yards ... A new fence .............. :) Seems to go on forever . Dismantling one yard which is made of strong panels/gates . the mesh and iron posts are 'wings' ,directing the goat mob into the yard , from where they are loaded onto a trailer and taken to a holding yard awaiting trucking . Rinse & repeat .... :) Edited March 6, 2014 by persephone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 It's like going on safari Australian style It was a bit - the kangaroos were in larger mobs ..and they could be seen some distance away by the dust clouds generated as they moved at speed. ..... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
