Lyn Hall from Creekview near Elmore in north central Victoria was out checking their 800 lambing Dorper ewes one morning recently. On the still, foggy morning, Lyn came across this impressive view with the sheep reflection in the dam making it look like they were walking upside down.

Now we all know the Dorpers’ Houdini-like skills in fence diversion, so it wouldn’t surprise us if they could walk upside down too! Congratulations Lyn, a great photo and a voucher for a pair of boots from our friends at Blundstone is on the way to you. Reflecting on your photo library and wondering if you have a snap that could be a contender for this page?

Why not send it to us via Facebook, on MMS on 040 111 FARM (040 111 3276) or email us at contact@kondinin.com.au and you could win yourself a pair of Blundstone boots too.
