Yorrick…
This little series of snaps comes from a trip we made into town a couple of days ago… I had picked up Dash from his tiny one-teacher school, and was flying in to pick up Mr Incredible and Violet who…
Chaos, cows and you little beauty!
As I trawl through the hundreds of photos I snapped during our week in Rockhampton for Beef Australia, I am hit once again at what an incredible feat of organisation and enthusiasm this event takes. … Not only are thousands…
Yes, Mr President
