Old Horse Yards in the Queensland Outback, Australia.

These old Horseyards are probably close to 100 years old. They are made from Mulga logs felled by axe on the Property. Mulga is a very hard wood so this explains why the yards are still standing today, although they are well weathered. The silver shrubs in the foreground are Galvanised Burr, a very tough plant that is common on outback properties as it is drought hardy. It is also prickly and has thorns that happily lodge in your socks and on your jeans. Sheep will eat the new growth on the Galvanised Burr and Goats will also have a nibble, but other than that, it just does a good job of holding the soil together and preventing wind erosion. Every plant has a purpose and thats the magic of biodiversity.

cool

Add me buddy, as long as there are no obligations on my part. I am always keen to have friends.

Well we

I try to look for posts from my followers and upvote, the time difference makes it harder. Thanks for your comment.

And as you would have noticed, i do upvote and answer replies to my posts, because i appreciate the interest shown in my work.

No, I see that not questioning your effort at all, I am talking about a voting bot. Tons of people have them here. So do you full understand the curation part? I just looked at your account. You have 100 percent voting power. You are leaving money on the table by not using some of your power.

This platform is hillarious ! On one hand, some people tell you to not use your SP too much because it drains the reward pool, others say you are wasting voting power if you are at 100 percent. I vote for myself and for others too when i see good posts i like. Because i can. I have limited time to spend here, thats why my voting power recovers to 100 %. There are people who complain about Voting Bots too. I just do my thing here. I hope i post content that gives everybody a unique perspective of my life and what i do. If they want to comment and are interested in my work and maybe upvote, i will respond in kind. Concerning voting bots my friend, i may look into it when i am good and ready. In the meantime, send me some info and i'll have a look. Thanks for your interest. and Cheers from The Bear.

Cool man will do. You have a good day.

I can see the advantages of a voting bot. I'll try to get some info on how to do it. In the meantime be patient while i sort it out, okay buddy. Cheer up, it's not that bad !!! :) :)

I am a patient man my friend, I am a bow hunter. I am also a very cheery person, let me know if you change your mind about being a active part in the group. Thanks,

Looks very old. Nice look.

Thanks for your interest and appreciation.

nice post, you get a glimpse of some gorgeous red Earth in this shot too

MY sentiments exactly. I like people with an eye for detail !

Haha no worries mate, keep up the posts

Wow, what a unique property. I can't imagine the type of animal & insect life you encounter there!

The wildlife and insects are amazing. 300 species of birds, snakes, lizards, Kangaroos, Emus, Eagles and more.There is 16 kilometres of Creek with permanent waterholes and lots of insects, like critters that i have never seen before. It all comes together to form a great haven for the animals. I like to strike a balance between Cattle and Wildlife, it's very important to me to live in harmony with all that is in our environment.

Great atmosphere with lots of grounding energy. Do you know how to find water the old way?

I have heard of "Water Divining", is that what you're talking about?

Sorry for the late reply. I am still finding my ways around I Steemit. Yeah! Could people still do that nowadays? Or is there a better method? Thanks.

People could still do it, but it's old-fashioned. There are much more modern methods of finding underground water.
