Headed back across the ditch again....... on a sprayer.... 1000 hectares and counting

Think I found the perfect job .... or how it used to be before everyone got busy... stopping for dinner in the middle of harvest #familybusiness #harvestnz #newholland #otagonz #summer weather @WeatherWatchNZ @travelingfixer @BenDooley8

Off on another adventure....21 hour drive from Hamilton to Clinton...... back from Aussie Harvest to a NZ harvest. Let's catch a moon

Australian sunset, Victoria

Finished my Australian harvest 4 days early so ticked off another bucket list item, house boating on the Murray... all the talk was how much water was around

Currently in Horsham, enjoying the experience very impressed about the transportation of windrowers

Come to Australia they said money to be made , sun shines endlessly.... just don't go to Victoria... rains every day and it's freezing, even for a kiwi , been a day or 2 since I've driven a windrower

Evening mood 👌 – at Rukuhia, Waipa District

Our clean green power generation working (or not) in our windiest month of the yr at Waitetuna , almost laughable with millions $$$ spent, but wait let's all get ev's and really f... the grid won't be car less days ...more days when you're allowed to drive them @WeatherWatchNZ

Just shot across the ditch for 2wks, haven't seen son for 3 yrs and 1st time in 3 yrs the 3 of them and myself had been together..the feeling is awesome 👌 Weather is just spot on. #family #sunrises #goodtimes #queensland #GoldCoast #byronbay #holidays #weather @WeatherWatchNZ

Awesome flight from Hamilton to Christchurch this morning, couldn't of asked for better weather #mttaranaki #southerners #mtcook @WeatherWatchNZ @FlyAirNZ

Main canal at Qarshi

If any1 is interested in irrigation& Agriculture,I highly recommend visiting Uzbekistan. Massive canals to move water around & from there it's all done by eye(tractors making ditches) and hand .on a large scale ..fascinating to say the least Cotton is huge... wheat barley lucerne
