Wheat Harvest

After 3" total rain last weekend, everything was fresh and green. We looked at the "parking lot" of trucks, headers and other machinery opposite the caravan park in the morning and saw that another vehicle could not have fitted in. No one was working. By the next day, they were moving out and the following day they were all gone. It was work as usual, apparently. The crops up here hadn't been damaged and the crops further south were at a stage where they welcomed the rain. We can see the trucks lining up to deliver the grain to the silos and the trains continue running into the night, to take it away. We even see many headers travelling north on the road, so clearly, there is much more grain to collect. There are no vacant cabins available in the park now --- they are all taken up by workmen.

Above: Grain trucks parked all along the road outside the caravan park. Below: Road trains and semis parked on the land opposite the park. It is always boggy after the rain. The drivers occupy cabins and caravans in the park.
