Very nice too Murray. What is that growing in the field in the second photos?

We are not sure, Andy.
All that land on both sides of the road was in wheat last year, and it appears to be some sort of break crop, turnip or swede or something.

Yep. It is lovely.
I will be honest, large parts of Australia have little if anything going for it, unless you like dust and flies. But there are corners of it which are like living in an oil painting.
This is one of them.

Bendigo Invitation club had 2 races today.
First one was just over 100 km, A youngster I gave to a bloke was his clock bird, he was 5th not far off the pace in a slow race.
Second race was 180 km, and my mate David won it with one of mine, also a tough race, several had no birds by clock off.
Both of those pigeons are by my young Heremans stock cock, Road Runner. He's by David's super star breeder, Hawkeye, and I think he's going to be a super breeder himself.

Andy, I was not thinking. The crop being grown in large quantity around here this year is Canola. Oil seed rape.
