I just got through having this HJ Holden restored. My dad bought it new in April 1975. We holidayed in Adelaide that January and went on a tour through that factory. I think that's where they decided on this colour (Persian Sand).

Woods farming and heritage museum Rupanyup. I can set you up with the contact details. 👍

I have heard the beer thing before, but I have also been told it was used like a herb and was common in gardens. 🤷

I spent a fair chunk of yesterday spraying Metsulfuron on some with a boom on our side x side. I hate the stuff and struggle to imagine why it was ever brought out here.

Had 8mm at Rupanyup so far. Hopefully a bit more heading your way still. 🤞

Took a while to get the video off the drone, but we were quite impressed with TurnPath as well!

Right, that's fairly significant. Do you think the more you do it the longer it will last?

Sounds like it's well worth doing.

It's been pretty similar to last year so far, but last year we had plenty of stored moisture from the previous summer rain. This year we have zero stored moisture, so we'll need good rain from now to get a crop at all. 😬

Still pretty dry at our place. Had just enough to get crops out of the ground last Friday (18mm), and about 2mm last night apparently. Been delivering feed Barley further south for a few months now, and they have had some decent rain now at least(70mm). But it's cold now and grass will be slow.

Yes it's a big jump from our previous 30' rig. Had a few dramas with hoses blocking, but got that sorted and it went really well*.
*we think! Nothing has come up yet as it didn't rain until last week. 🤞

I reckon he gave it the beans just before the bridge to enhance the spectacle for the crowd.

Yep. We came down for a Nephews party last night and went for a drive in the morning. Grand kids were pretty impressed.
