Windmills?

cow fan in queensland australia
In 1999 when I was working as a tourguide driving a bus full of backpackers through the Gulf from Cairns to Darwin a young pommie bloke asked me about the windmills that we saw like above. I told him that as Australia, and especially the outback where we were at the time, was too hot for the European cows, the farmer would on hot summer days turn on the fan for his cows so they could come and cool down. And what do you know, this guy believed me!


(I found this on the net...)

update

I'm back.... for today anyway :-)
have been keeping busy at work, & with the farm.
the weather has been quite change-full, from cold S.W winds with cloud & rain/sleet. too warm northerly winds & sunny like today... ah winter...don't we love you.

I have more photo of the cows coming soon,  but with shift work, the blog posts will be few and far between! sorry :)
