Aerial Seeder

Don"t worry Birdy, I"m a long way from you

[mad max]

I was in the Clunes area Vic. about 12 yrs. ago with a gyro looking at land and went to a farm auction out of curiosity as there was a gyro on the list. Bumped into a bloke who knew Bob Higgins well and I said "He"s the Godfather of Gyro"s" The bloke gave me Bobs. Ph. no. and begged me to phone him and say that to him as he was depressed. So I did and Bob invited me to his home but I couldn"t make it. My first Gyro was a higgins. Bob died two weeks later. I like to think he left the planet happy

I was led to believe there are a few variety"s of the stuff [ Buffel grass] some was excellent & some a disarster. Can anyone clarify that ?

[Russell]

Given the track record of those boofheads, bet they select the wrong grass.No matter where they spread the stuff, give it time, and the stuff will be spreading all over the country side.Apparently, birds,wind,rain,floods,animals spread seeds, and do a damn fine job at it. Give it time Dave, and it"ll be knocking on your front door. ........uninvited.Boofheads response will be............oops, and eradicating the shyte will be at your expense.

For anyone interested in buffle, I"v been liven with it for 40 odd years.Yes Brian, there are different typs, sum good n sum very invasive and not worth squat.Naturally, 90% of the stuff we av ere is the squat stuff.And it had Nuthn to do with taxpayer sappn boofheads.The Afghan camel people that were the " road trains" a hundred years back used buffle seed as stuffn in their packsaddle paddn. So, besides the fxxxxn camels, we got their buffle as well.This stuff has been ere for bout a hundred years, and as happens, evolution takes it toll n now we have the most dominant buffle known to man.I"v seen it 5/6" tall, can"t see the hand on the end of your own arm through it.Burns hotter n longer n an oxy torch.Ruff as guts to fly over.( don"t even try driven over it)Feed value is very good, for 10 days to 2 weeks after a rain.After that it has the protine value of old cardboard. >Wouldn"t be so bad if this was crap country.But this is(was) the cleanest, healthiest and sweetest cow country I"v ever had anything to do with. :"(There is an up side, just can"t think of it rite now.

Yeah Birdy Mix buffle with mud and make bricks or Compressed fiber wall panels, could be worth a fortune. So from what we can see from the Regulations there would be some hoops to jump thru. Starting at a certified design. Looking from Birdy"s Just do it perspective to Marks very informative clarification of regulations and Waddles input of

[birdy]

Don"t want to make mud bricks or a fortune.The only stupid question is the one not asked.Who"s got the engineering background?Who are the heros?And why take it out ona pice of wood?

[Brian]

;D...hero members,

[mad max]

We have a fly-in here once a year at a privately owned WW2 airstrip. Bring your own tent, caravan, refreshments. No official invites, any-one with a flying machine from a gyro to a DC3 turns up. No briefings, people can wander across the runway if they don"t see an A/C on finals. Any-craft can go flying any time the pilot considers it safe. The only rules are common sense. No stress, works magic

[birdy]

That"s odd ???, the same rules apply ere, with the addition of, I"m the boss.

Met a tourist from the overpopulated northern Hem. and he asked "How many million people are there in the NT" I broke him the news that it"s about 230,000. I think that"s why we"re still here Birdy. Less people, less bull-s#@t ;D

[birdy]

Bloodyell Max, that many???Was wundern why I was feeln costrofobic.Time we did a bita Cullen mate, wodooyarecon?

[blakemorem]

I thought Abbott stopped the boats. Now he has to stop the planes, there is a lot of expired visas here and 457"s. Illegal workers ain"t too bad at least they are working, doing all the jobs we are too lazy to do.

[mad max]

Even up here we are sometimes checked on. At one of these fly-ins a young well dressed gentleman approached me while I was strapping in a passenger and with a smirk asked me if I did "Joy Rides" I immediately observed an illuminated sign on his fore-head saying "CASA" I informed him that the churches have been trying to brain-wash us poor pheasants for thousands of years that any form of "Joy" was an unforgivable sin, and when I want another child I shall place a dark blanket over my wife with a small hole and shut my eyes while performing the act. I"m about to perform a Trail Introductory Flight
