It's true! Going to Corowa last year on the back roads (Not scouting for old trucks, Officer!), I was stalked for 5km by a mini downpour that featured the odd zap of lightning. The pic didn't look anywhere as good as the real thing:

And to prove that back roads are never any use for finding anything of worth, all I found was this rusty Grain Trailer (which bears a resemblance to a C15A)! No chance of picking it up cheap, as it's likely to get a workout this year. The good rains are leading to forecasts of the best Winter grain crop in the past 5 years.

What a waste of tyres, not to mention chassis. Next thing to investigate would be a line of windbreak trees near the farm workshop.

mine PROTECTED grain carrier! whatever next, just need a perisope to see out and a tiller to steer with!!

the old house tank was past it's use by date so the boys and I started to dismantle it. We have the roof off and half the panes unbolted (50 bots per join ).I have to dig down another 600 mm so the new tank will fit under the pipe but the rain is a bit early to fill it.

Missed another 10mm but now we are ready to catch the lot. This tank is sealed so I wont find dead birds in it like I found in the bottom of the old one I didn't tell Vicki about that find

Reminds me of the time just after I got married (26 years ago) and we were living in a rural area in New Zealand. We decided to clean out the house tank and found the swallows had been nesting in it so we found rotten eggs, dead chicks and a dead possum that was quite ripe in the bottom and yes we were drinking it for a few months before hand and never got sick!
