The perils of travelling on country roads in Tassie!

[Lani]

.....especially when the cows need moooooving.
Michael and I were on our way to Sheffield and got slightly held up by this herd of cows....so, how else to pass the time but take some pics. I probably should have gotten out of the car to take them, but Michael threatened to leave me behind if I did.:D
First one shows them in absolutely no rush,
the second proves I wasn't the only one who spotted a photo opportunity
.... and the third....well, the cows obviously got a bit bored as well LOL

[Miaow]

lol yeah that would slow down traffic lol

Good ones Lani of course I had a chuckle at #3 :lol:
I never seem to have my camera around my neck when I see things like that :wd:

Hehe, not hard to tell the non-farmers amongst us. ;) That girl was just bullin' in photo 3 and would've have been serviced by the next morning (bull or AI).

Nice photos though, of a healthy Holstein-Friesian herd. :)

Thanks for the comments everyone...where was that Cheryl?....would've held everyone up for ages lol

[CherylB]

To be honest, Lani, I can't remember exactly where. I visited a friend in Longford and then drove back down through the lakes area - so about somewhere in the middle is the best I can do!

Surprisingly, it didn't take that long! After stopping to take the shot, I just continued driving. Sheep being sheep, as soon as I started to move towards them, they very considerately moved out of the way! :D Drove very slowly for about a kilometre and then I was through.

Love the twinkle in the eye :th3:

i miss the country... great shots to bring back a few memories. Used to work on a dairy farm in Smithton NW tassie. winter at 4am for the first milking was quite hard, but really enjoyed the experience, long way away from what i do now though, computer programmer...

[Lani]

That is a world apart Allann....gee, 4 am starts in Smithton in winter would freeze the....well, it would be really cold. :D
Thanks Mary-Anne. :)

A work colleague of mine (up here in Brisbane) left Qld with his wife & son about 2 mths ago now & have started a new life down in Tassie.... working in Hobart & live about 25 klms out of town.

[OldNick]

HAH! Great series and I really had a chuckle at the last one you posted.

[Kerry]

Too funny :lol:

[Topgunn]

God I love Tassie!
I have been involved with moving a lot of sheep with my uncle who runs a sheep farm with 5500 sheep. Great times. Great pics too Lani. Love the twinkle in the eye :)

[Satine]

So funny!!! Glad you had your camera

[Redgum]

Ah! So Tassie's like New Zealand, more sheep than people? Or do they just sound the same? :D

[Lani]

Thanks for the comments guys, glad they gave you a giggle. :)

[Shelley]

Nice shots Lani. When we go up north we have to contend with wild goats and cattle, never mind the kangaroos as well. :)

[Photogra]

ROFLMAO Lani! :lol: Yes the things you see on country roads. Agree the cows must have been bored. Well spotted and all great shots.
