Man that looks good Mike. Bunch of jokers, some tractors, bit of r'n'r on one of them, dawg on the back of the Landcruiser and probably some dogs on the barbie as well. You'll have to post the names left to right in the photos so we can put names to faces for these upstanding gents!
Totally envious : ))
Cheers,
Neil

The second photo of two intelligent looking boys is Bruce "BruceOz" on the right, with Colin "Wimmera Farmer" on the left, while the group photo next to the pull grader was taken over at my neighbours John Cox's farm, he collects rare fully restored John Deeres out of the USA and we visited his collection Sunday morning, starting from the left is Eddie "Edb", Bruce "BruceOz", Brett from Tasmania, Colin from Horsham "Wimmera Farmer", John Cox my neighbour, Roger "Rmyram" from Canada sitting with his son, and Steve, "Steve90" from Tasmania, now known as Fred Flintstone, because he runs rock crushing plants😆.
The photo next to the old Toyota is Roger and his lovely family, along with our mutt "Oreo", named after the Oreo biscuits because he's black and white, he came from the animal pound as a 10 week old pup, funniest dog we have ever owned, he loves visitors, and riding in the back of any vehicle, while the first photo of the Cats lined up shows Eddie "Edb" second from the left and his caravan club mates either side, all great guys, only one had any idea how to drive a Cat., but we soon fixed that.
We had some great food over the weekend, Thursday night was welcome dinner at the Irish pub, the Shamrock Hotel in Echuca with Roger and his family, Friday was a fantastic camp oven lamb stew prepared by Roger and his sweet wife Arla, cooked slowly in the coals of the big redgum fire we had burning, Sat. night was ribeye roasts cooked perfectly in the oven by "Anna the Saint" using a Californian method we learnt in the Salinas Valley, always moist and tender, but cooked just right, breakfast each morning was bacon and eggs, lunch was fresh sandwiches, and every night there was the odd glass of wine or beer or two enjoyed around the camp fire, all good fun. Roger and his family actually stayed here for 8 days I think, it was a fantastic visit we wont forget, they are great ambassidors for Canada.
regards
Mike
