Hi Aunty Jack. Look like this is going to be an interesting blog.
More photos soon. Aunty Jack, see you have a new member in a motor bike helmet???
Jo says - I drove Dad (WR Ron) home from Toowoomba once and was amazed when about 100ks from Goondiwindi, he began pointing out to me all of the land on the local properties that they had cleared with the dozers, thereby opening up the country to future cultivation. The farming that was enabled allowed many family dynasties to thrive and prosper.
The helmet guy is the 'tall guy in the suit' son (Paul) aka cloud....
Son of the GUN! lol
