SPRINGTIME AT BONY MOUNTAIN
A bit of excitement! never a dull moment-special thanks to our wonderful Neighbours! Warren- Gary & the other Warren- much interest in the Tractors! Lucky for us they were not needed on Monday/Tuesday everyone just drove out! but a week later we got another inch of rain! So big road repairs underway once everything dries out!
OUR TRACTOR FEST!
BIG BLUE TRACTOR- our local heroes to the rescue! Gary - & Warren -Bony Mountain ! Looks worse than it was- had to call them in a couple of times! but everyone was fascinated with the Tractors! So I dubbed it our (Tractor Fest) . by Monday it was all dried out- a few Campers stayed til Tuesday- and everyone just drove out! I feel we dodged a bullet! but it kept everyone amused anyway! Narrabri big (Cotton Fest) is cancelled- as is Clarence Valley Festival- such a shame - all the work -to end up with nothing to show!!
-
BIG RED TRACTOR-
The big red Tractor created plenty of interest! Our water table was so wet- the heavier vehicles sank into the mud! But this had so much Horse power! Big thanks to Warren- our nearest neighbor!
