The little tractor

After old mate Jed ripped up the front lawn to lay irrigation drip pipes, we had to do a heap of raking. To the rescue came the lawn mower with a custom blade fitted to make easy work of pushing soil back into the irrigation trenches. With a bit of a top dress in spring this garden area should maintain a green fire resistant swathe right through the summer months.

Raising the bar

Kath spotted a small advert in the local paper. Someone was selling a slab of timber that had been the workbench in the Yarrawonga Coachbuilders shop for 100 years. Close to 5 m long and 1 m wide this chunk of equine history had BHA written all over it. Now back at Spring Spur and awaiting a bit of a tidy up, this piece of timber will become the centre piece "bar" in the Riders Lounge.

The workbench awaiting it's new purpose.
