sustainable green farming practices

This dust storm brings dust from as far away as Western Australia.
The street photo was taken at Nowra on the east coast. If countries being supplied with food from Australia rely on this food. It may not happen indefinitely as the drought bites the soils are lost in this way and so is the food supply capability.

The car photo shows the dust that came down last night.

The paddock is in Junee after the fires came through. cheers Stewart

green sustainable reusable enviromentally friendly dusk mask

Old undies can be cut down to make dust masks this one is about two years old now. With yours truly doing the modeling and photography.

Just cut through the crutch and below the elastic with scissors and tie to suit your size.
They wrap around under the chin and are more comfortable than a hanker chief,they keep out more dust as well and if you want more dust collection make them damp.
They are also reuseable after washing.
cheers from the chump in the photo Stewart

true stories from Gundagai

I was bitten by a wild dog and have had multiple courses of antibiotics .If you are to visit Australia be careful in the bush as there are many wild dogs and cats. When I notices platypus's getting mauled to death I built a cat trap and on the first night I caught a little cat which seamed overly stressed and took it to the ranger to be dealt with. The ranger was a largely built man very large in fact and strong. He looked at the cat and I being a city slicker asked if it was feral and the reply was it might be..I offered the ranger some welding gloves to grab it and he declined and he put on his gloves that went to his shoulders. He stood there and looked at that cat and perspiration came to his brow. Then as quick as light he dove into to the trap to grab the cat and it turned into a hurricane the ranger jumped back and the trap closed trapping the cat again. I asked as a good city slicker would is it feral and the reply came “yes it is.” The ranger looked at the cat and he started sweating profusely as he had to grab that thing and show the city slicker he was tough..Well in again he went and the hurricane erupted even more violently and the ranger threw him self back on the ground clutching his face screaming in agony. I pulled his hands away to see the damage inflicted on him by the cat and there was no blood not even a scratch nothing. I asked what the matter was and he yelled back at me that the cat had head butted him The cat made its escape in the process .. Seeing that the only thing hurt was his pride I again asked was it feral as any good city slicker would do.. His reply was something like this#^&@@!)* and he grabbed his rifle and went off after the mini hurricane which was long gone.
