OK so what

OK so what interesting things have you done this week end?

I went and played with what some call toy planes others call them model plane, either way I made a bit of a hole on the field with one and its no more

I went for a ride this morning

Oh dear!.... Idon't know where Beachport is, not in Vic, :), never mind. I was at St.Andrews and Camberwell markets.

We have stayed at the caravan park a couple of times now, the one down on Blacketer st

Haha I lived opposite that caravan park, my folks had a shack on Somerville Street for a few years. I use to move in when I was between places. 

Vintage I'm in South Australia and Beachport is in the South East, so not that far from Victoria but I bit far to get to Camberwell Market :^O

Its a lovely spot and fantastic beaches

Actually its great all the way along the great ocean road which is why we have gone that way 4 times now

Will post piccies of the camels tomorrow. Worked up the courage to hand feed them this arvo, my oh my, they look big in the paddock but absolutely GINORMOUS when they are right beside you with their heads towering above you.

It will be nice to see them, not sure I would want to get within spitting distance :^O

Hawk, my husband has already been spat at by the male. Was his own stoopid fault though :^O

Same day they were moved (and naturally still very unsettled after all they had been through) hubby accidentally cornered the male in the paddock and got spat at for his troubles when he tried to move him away. I am making sure there is always an escape route for both me and the camels in two different directions!

I do believe it was a HR hearse 😄

Interesting, I never seen one.

A chap down the road has a HR Premier sdn, totally orginal. He ran out of gas in front of my place. I asked you wanna sell? he said; he would never! it was his fathers car. Had red interior - very appealing!

Pimpy, according to various gov't departments they are supposed to eat pest weeds such as Lantana and Boxthorn. There has been quite a bit of research over the last few years into the benefits of using camels for weed reduction instead of using chemical sprays.

Darki, apparently it doesn't necessarily work that way (loading the other one first next time), but for sure we will try it if we ever have to move them! The girl camel went on so quickly and quietly because her hubby was already in the float.

We got them to help clear the weeds, also there have been some studies showing that running camels with cattle is beneficial to the cattle - something (flora/bacteria?) in the camels gut transfers to the cattle and lets them utilise their feed much more efficiently - thereby using less feed to put on more weight.

Plus they just look really cool wandering around the paddock - we are still doing a double-take when we walk outside and see two ships of the desert calmly grazing alongside the calves!

What a wonderful sight that would be... makes me want camels (slaps self 'No Darki, you don't want camels' :-))  would love Llamas too, I believe they are also good to run with cattle.

Ya never know maybe the male thought you were taking him away from his woman.  Certainly if that is the case and she will go on easily then he will certainly follow :^O

Mind you, I don't think I'd want to move them again after that either.

The plane is bin fodder, it was never going to end well for that one as it was trainer and I have only been flying for 12 months and was about to retire it anyway. 

The main parts like the motor survived and the planes are cheap to buy as ARFs so not much time spent building like the old days.

Ouch Hawk that is some plane crash

yes Darkie I did shorten it a little

for you and sea-jay google ST7

This is mine

Oh beeeaauuutiful!  Love it!  Use to ride bikes in my youth 🙂
