Actually Keith - I didnt get a shot of the back wall - I kid you not, everyone was jumpy about snakes yesterday - it was bloody hot and we've got copperheads and tiger snakes out in force at the moment too. The Jack Russell - being about the size of shoe - kept charging into the grass only to disappear and everyone was nervy he'd resurface with a brown snake in his jaws. The farmer had bits of the truck all over the place - in sheds - in the paddock - so those missing bits could be around. The whole thing nearly went to the tip a few weeks ago - his-son-in-law was ready to hoik it all - but mercifully he saved it. And yes - it occurred to me it was strange having a Chev when he could have a Ford...

After the last Corowa we went up to see another forum member near Oberon and while there helped him out with a bit of fencing in a paddock, think he was trying to freak me by keep warning me about the tiger snakes around there.

Sounds like that cocky should have had a burn off at the right time of year. Too late now, total destruction would be the inevitable outcome if that grass got going. Looks like no bushfire preparation there. Reduces the chances of a snake encounter as well.
Yesterday was our last chance to burn off here and we spent a lot of the day raking up and burning tree litter. Fuel reduction's the name of the game. 170 dead in one day in 2009 keeps things fresh in your mind when you live in a fire prone area. Don't worry about the snakes Richard, we'll fit up with some bowyangs. You'll be right. (Look that up in your Funk and Wagnals). David
