.........hose, which doubled the effect, especially with the correct pf level, decombusting the hay.

It was in one of these decompression times that Loxie was caught on camera by the local press .......

 

In the Western District the best economic cycle for their meat production is to sow just enough seed to feed the stock through the dry season. At the end of the hey season there is a neat haystack on every farm. One of Turbo's neighbours had the longest paddock in the district, running beside the road for over a kilometres. It was only 150 metres wide but that's not the point.

The farmer was like someone who buys an aircraft kit and never finishes it, full of advice but never managing to solve the problem. In this case he had no stock, but everyone else had a haystack so he also cut hay and started building hay at one end of the Long Paddock as he called it. With no stock, the stack was still there next year. No bells rang and he sewed another lot of seed and the stack was extended next year. Turbo would drive past every summer to see this stack growing longer and longer.The farmer wasn't worried about the cost; he sold suspension bits for Falcons.

Eventually the ribbing from the neighbours stopped. He had the longest haystack in Australia, then the world. Some wag even put up a sign "BIG HAYSTACK: with two eyes painted at the end and a dot at the other.

One night somone lit it at the upwind end and the rest is history.
