Boats on dam

Time lapse art covering the kids playing with boats
on the dam between 2 to 5 in the afternoon

Despite the onset of inclement weather, the number
of boats and kids increased over that period

Georgia under orange tree

The farm had the world's best orange

Grandad's steam engine

The kid's grandad grew up on the Moree wheatfields
His job as a child was to get up at 4am and
start the steam engines.

Therefore he was quite delighted when I told him I
had discovered an old steam engine still in use
at a timber mill near Uralla.

He immediately went out there and bought it
Towed it home with his tractor and set it
up for chaff cutting.

It was a Buffalo, a popular American brand
at the end of the 19th C.

I had to paint it for posterity
