ozziebloke Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The GFs cows at her farm in Thailand. While in Australia we have driven all around NSW and seen many a cow with very little interest from herself. Some acknowledgement of their difference, that is all. Sheep however are a totally different matter. The first few times there was almost excitement at seeing a flock of Sheep. Of course the moment always need a photo, not an easy task to convince Sheep to stay close enough to the fence to be in picture. We have also been lucky to see in the wild a few Swamp Wallabies, some Kangaroos, an Emu, Echidnas, Cockatoos, Galahs, and a Wombat! No Koalas in the wild as yet. Farm cow 3.jpg Farm Cow 2.jpg Farm COw 1.jpg Funny my misses always says that the sheep look like rocks in the paddock. Where abouts NSW are you travelling? My wife has been very lucky because we get to see Koala's regularly on the farm we live on. If I could work out how to upload photo's I would show you. Oh by the way we live in Boggabri up north of Tamworth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh by the way we live in Boggabri up north of Tamworth The closest we have been to you ozziebloke is Quirindi and Tamworth. (on an aside, we stopped at pub for lunch in Quirindi as the GF wanted steak...she loves AUssie steak... The Pub owners wife was Thai, and working there another Thai. They cooked our Aussie steak for us. ) We have done the New England Highway twice now, with a couple of stop offs along the way. Same with the pacific Highway. Have been up to Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast . Heading down the coast we have been almost to the Victorian border, back inland through various towns, Canberra etc. Also we have done a trip out to Mudgee, through the Blue Mountains, then back through Singleton. Are you having problems uploading using Thaivisa? Edited May 30, 2013 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry getting off topic about Thai farming. Re: Mudgee. Great place, been there many times. Have stayed in Gulgong 2 times. My grandfather and his family were from Rylstone, which we also went to. Family member was giving a talk at the local Historical society. The trips were not one trip, but about 5, at various times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RedBullHorn Posted May 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2013 My favourite place to hang out... A legal moonshine factory, sub-contractor to a label. I buy all my Lao Khao here. The secret yeast dough. Flour, yeast, water, herb & spices. (I was half an hour late to photo the ingredients) Like compost the dough need to be covered to build up heat. When dried, it is one of the element to be mix with the rice for fermentation. I buy mine in a 20L water container and then fill up 32 Chang bottles at home. Price ฿ 1'200 and i pay no duty stamps, done the maths, ฿37/bottle. @ 45-48% ALV. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
