  • The crèche - Cobran Station at Hay in NSW, is currently cropping 2000ha of irrigation wheat and cotton as well as running cattle with dogs a sideline specialty. Which is why Mark McLean could not resist snapping this shot when he spotted his Jack Russell Pip curled up on top of a litter of Kelpies.
  • Gurley, NSW farmer Peter Jackson has always wanted to fly and found the budget entry to becoming airborne was an aerochute. Part parachute, part engine, he purchased the outfit last august, did his training and then took off. While sons Brad and Phil were harvesting the family’s canola crop, Peter and wife Janice were up above keeping a keen eye on progress when Janice snapped this shot of their fields. She said the aerochute has also proved handy for spotting wild pigs, which cause a lot of crop damage, and directing shooters towards them.
  • Carissa Daw is not yet one but she was already in the thick of it at shearing on her family property. Her mother Katie said Carissa “was intrigued with her fi rst contact with wool during shearing”. “I think we've got a budding wool classer on our hands,” Katie said. Katie and her husband Geoff run 10,000 Merino ewes cutting 300 bales of 19.5 micron wool at Kojonup in Western Australia.
