The old shearing shed

Recently i went with a mate out to Gunnedah to help with a trade show, I thought it would be a great chance to see if  the canola fields were nice and yellow yet. There was a few fields that were golden yellow but most were still a few weeks off reaching there full potential.
We stayed on a property about 30 mins out of Gunnedah in the old shearing quarters. The rooms consisted of 2 bunk beds and thats about i,. We also had to light the fire to have hot water for our showers of an evening.
The reason we headed to Gunnedah was for Agquip Australia's biggest agriculture field day. It is massive !! 3 days of thousands of people checking out farming equipment. We had a stand set up doing displays driving in fence posts. The little petrol post driver was designed and invented by brothers Peter and Mick Christie and there father Les. Here is a link to the Christie Engineering website and the post driver they invented http://www.christieengineering.com.au/
If you have some fencing to do this will save you !!
