    New Year/January Trip

    Hey guys, been a while!

    when uni finished in november last year, the wife and i up and left home for a few months. We went out to her parents farm out near Texas to live for a while. Very interesting experience. No town water, no town power, no net and a good hour to the corner store.

    I thought id share some photos from the experience.

    all was good until we came home on australia day.

    there were some pretty serious floods out that way which affected our property pretty badly.

    just for interests sake, there is (i think) 8 creek crossings on the way out - and only one way out..

    well, we had to make it - we had run out of food and more importantly, booze!!

    heres the event in a few pics (not many sorry, was kinda busy!)









    needless to say, it was an interesting trip to get out, but the good old girl did it!

    hope you enjoy the shots.

    Nearly need an 'orse with the crossings that high!

    Funny, I'd always thought that Texas would be flat, like Inglewood.

    Nice place and thanks for sharing.
