    Bearded Dragon I think, although a bit different colouring to the ones around here.
    The ones here are really docile, even if you get close with the mower or brushcutter. You have to try to move them on with the stationary head of the whippie and even then they won't burr up. They just poke off in their own good time.

    Always nice to see others work. I don't get to many shade gardens to do. Good stuff.

    A little job I had to do today. Spray Olive trees with White Oil and Dimethoate. There is 48 rows with 40 trees in each row. I use my old Cox and trailer with a 100 litre tank in back. I used 1300 litres of water, 39 litres of White oil and 1.3 litres of Dimethoate. I am glad I never quoted it, just a hourly rate.

    Yes a good earning job, now I have to spray around all the trees to kill the weeds. This I can use the boomspray and will get it done in no time compared to the last job. As for fun, not really got a sore back and shoulder from sitting and spraying. Only good part was when filling up the trailer I was able to watch the airshow at Temora airport. Even saw the Governor General's aircraft land.
    For those that might want to know, in the last pic if you look hard you can see a bright green area and behind that is a bright yellow area. Green area is 300 acres of wheat and the yellow is just over 1000 acres of Canola. This time of year is so beautiful around here, everywhere you drive it so colourful.

    I had the bloody crap frightened out of me again today by another Bearded Dragon. I nearly walked on it, just caught it out of the corner of my eye.
