Okay, hopefully I have photos !!1 st photo is coming into the house /dam area from the north with the woolshed and house strip in the foreground. You can see the usual driveway coming down from the top of photo .2nd photo is getting closer to the house and you can get a better idea of the size of the lake3rd photo is abeam the dams. The powe and power service pole on the dam near the cement tank are usually around 10 foot higher than the "full " dam level. Never before have I seen that much water there. In the background you can see some more puddles over the Karpa Kora mail road.

Thanks for the photos. Much better than some of those dusty ones in the past. Seeing that half your property is now Lake Kinross, you should get a suitable reduction in your rates this year.I could use some of your goats. Blackberries are growing at a great rate. Slash the buggers and two weeks later you would not know.Graham

Its a pleasure to be able to actually see the country green and covered with grass. Its the best the country has been since 75 and even in the wet years of the 70"s, I have never seen such a strike of summer grass in my time. Strange to say, the goat country thats been pushed to the limits has the best summer grass, much better than the Dorper country !1 st photo is the way to get the boat to the lake and the 2 nd one is of the pump [ on the dam /lake] thats never had water close to it in my time

back some ten years ago we had a very short wet period and a really smart farmer [ i considered him smart because he had made a lot of money] needed a small spray rig to save his tomatoe crops. it would be incoviently small but the money he would make would make for it. he brought in his 4wheeler and asked to put duals on it. same as you get duals on tractors

I find it amazn how many people have forgotn, or dont know bout tyre pressure.Almost flat tyres will get you much further than duels or fats or lugs or diff locks or LSDs ever will, and itll only cost you a 12V compresser.
