Because their farmland is on very sandy soil, complete withsand dunes, and there is quite a lot of limestone scattered
through it, they use stone rollers to break up the rocks.
These huge ribbed rollers weigh in at 25 tons each and
crush the limestone quite effectively.
Vicki has her arms full with Timmy and Tammy, do othercountries have Tim Tam chocolate biscuits? that's where
these two Maltese Terriers got their names.
They are standing in a crop of Canola, while wheat is by
far their main crop they also grow Canola, Barley, and
Peas, as well as running sheep.
Matthew is the oldest of their kids, he is shown hereindicating the height of a previous Canola crop.
The view from the house is over these paddocks brieflygreen, but normally dry, whether in crop or standing
fallow.
