Bits n Bobs: December 2013
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 31, 2013. A semi-arid break pt1. I must admit I have enjoyed many great locations at this time of year. I particularly remember Paris and I particularly remember the Lakes District in Cumbria UK. Both beautiful, both wonderfully memorable. Dave driving the cruiser. Sun up and about the ride off to Lake Wyara. ( looong shadows! There were few birds, all water holes had dried up, and starving emus, could only walk a few paces before collapsing from starvation. The lake itself was 2 klm fu...

Bits n Bobs: 2015 first ride
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2015/01/2015-first-ride.html
Wednesday, January 7, 2015. As many of my friends know I had surgery on an ankle in 2011, and despite a lot of rest, it has proved to be a problem, often "clicking out" when I least expect it. As such the bikes have sat in the shed pretty much since then. Well, I went over to my UK friends blog " No Hidden Lycra", and became inspired to give it a crack. The tried and true Cannonade Prophet turns 10 years old this year! Overall I felt good, no ankle soreness and I am keen to get back out! So remember to l...

Bits n Bobs: November 2014
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. Having spoken to family and friends, I have decided to add some more photos and comments on Boorara. Verandah along the old shearers quarters. David and I went over a few months back to see what, if any, work the National Parks have done to improve the place. The bore has been repaired and the grass was freshly mown. Some of the older vehicles had been moved to one location opposite the fibro dwelling that was the Boodgerie out station. Not much to say here. Some of the out buil...

Bits n Bobs: Kenworth 179 work continues
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2015/05/kenworth-179-work-continues.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. Kenworth 179 work continues. The work continues on Blue Circle Southern 1985 Kenworth W model fleet number 179. The lads have removed the Bin, it has been sold and is heading to QLD. We are searching for a tray to suit, and the truck will go over the pit to have the chassis steam and acid washed. Once the chassis is cleaned and dried it will be painted its original colour (which it already is)- a 'cement" grey. My thanks to Johnson Transport for all the work they are putting in.

http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2015/01/innaminka-station-and-year-that-was.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. Innaminka Station and the year that was. Innaminka Station is located in the north east corner of South Australia. Its a total in excess of 2 million acres and carries about 13,000 head of cattle. It is part of the Sir Sidney Kidman dynasty and my daughter works there. Just before Christmas I drove up to collect her and back again. Its about 3400km round trip. The new 2014 Landcruiser. Small strip of tar in Ghost Town of Yantabulla. The track from Yantabulla. Hungerford is my fav...

Bits n Bobs: Everyone needs a Kenworth W model.
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2015/05/everyone-needs-kenworth-w-model.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. Everyone needs a Kenworth W model. When I was a kid I had a real desire to own a Kenworth W Model truck. I would spend hours looking at posters, writing to Kenilworth to get stickers, and stare as they headed down the Hume Highway. Picking up the Kenworth in the Hunter Valley (as well as some hay! Trucks fascinated me. I am lucky that, as an auctioneer and valuer, I can spend a lot of time with them as part of my job. However, I always wanted to "own one". View from drivers seat.

Bits n Bobs: April 2014
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 12, 2014. I am getting in a little early, as we will be away mustering in QLD. Anzac day, (for my friends overseas), is on the 25th of April, whereby we remember those who gave up their lives, and fought for our country. I am honoured to have family members who served in both WW1 and WW2, and recently Afghanistan. They recently found him, after excavating the battle ground. He was blown to pieces whilst charging the german lines. I often think about this. Why? I have a brother in law who ...

Bits n Bobs: Blue Circle Southern 1985 Kenworth W model 179
http://dailybitsnbobs.blogspot.com/2015/07/blue-circle-southern-1985-kenworth-w.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Blue Circle Southern 1985 Kenworth W model 179. The next phase of the work continued as I removed the mudflaps ready for replacements to go on., purchased a new blinker switch and labelled the toggle switches on the cab, (mainly for my own benefit). I did purchase new rear hubcaps but have decided not to fit them as I don't think the truck had these when ordered, and they are a pain to fit. There are quite a few toggle switches. The new backing plate for interior light. July 14, ...
