Queensland got hit by terrible floods and tonight they are bracing themselves for a cyclone that is bigger than Katrina (as you can see the blogs take me a couple days - it is after the cyclone and it was not nearly as bad as first expected - it got downgraded before it hit land).
We posted some pics of the past times here in Naracoorte area:
Pasty making with Jenn:
Paruna farm near Loxton (Josh's spray tank):
Infra-red Spot Sprayer - Each day Josh would have to push the booms open in new fields. It has numerous cameras about a foot apart and only will spray when it senses a green weed.
Fill Bin - used in fields during harvest to store grain, once field is completed it is taken to grain bunkers:
Jock's House:
Spraying Station:
Josh having tons of fun fueling up in plus 42 heat (couldn't spray):
Josh's new greatest invention - the weather meter, which uses delta T (gives you the most opportune spraying times - degrees plus wind plus humidity equals delta T):
February 2nd (Wednesday) - We finally went and seen the Naracoorte Caves. There were many different caves you could go through and it was really neat to see, especially in a smaller center.
February 3rd (Thursday) - We are now heading out on the open road to Victor Harbour, Hahndorf, Adelaide and the Barossa Wine Valley. We will hopefully have a new post sometime next week.
P.S. I was informed that all dried fruit is treated with sulfur these days to keep the nice colour and it helps preserve them for longer.
