The lavendar farm is up the street on the right after u go over the railway line heading to Condo. The other clue no- one picked up on.... "maybe a one-horse town, but there are a lot of cattle there"... refers to the large cattle feed-lot that is there. Over to you Dave ;D

Hi Dave, Ok, out of your post I've worked out that the whatever it is was presented to the good people of Millicent, but what's the (real) story behind it? All I've found on Google are references to Blade Runner instant turf from Millicent, which I assume is unrelated? Don Ricardo

Hi Don Ricado, Sorry about my reply but it was asked: Where's this? It is a blade off a wind turbine. Like Dave says it's rather large although there are much larger ones being used these days in the newer wind farms, up around 45 metres long. I saw this one on a visit to South Australia when flying radio control model aircraft. My gripe about wind turbine blades is that they are using up a lot of the World's balsa wood supply in the making of these blades and that, taken with all the balsa wood they use in the construction of Super Oil and Gas Tanker ships, there's not much left for us aeromodellers. A Google on the Millicent Information Centre reveals Winblade Display: Get up close and personal and marvel at the 33m wind blade in Centiennial Park, adjacent the Visitor Centre. www.wattlerange.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/millicent-2011.pdf (See page 5) I am sorting out a photo for "Where's this" and I will post it in the next day or so. Cheers, Ian.

Sorry about my reply but it was asked: Where's this? Hi Jikah, You are right - the thread is about 'Where's this', but when the photo consists of an interesting object or building, it's nice to find out a bit about the subject as well. Hence my question - which was intended to be read in a light hearted way (I hope the emoticons indicated that?). Thanks for the info and link you provided on the blade. Most interesting. I had figured out it was a blade from a propeller of some sort, but couldn't get a sense of the size of it to enable me to work out what it might have come from. Initially I thought you were pulling my leg when you wrote about the blades being made of balsa wood, but a quick perusal of Google revealed that you were being absolutely serious. Who would have thought? You learn something every day, and in my case today, several things! Don Ricardo

...You learn something every day, and in my case today, several things!.... and of course you would know that balsa wood is a hardwood?

Hi Junctionbox,
Indeed, paradoxical as that may seem! I learnt the answer to that one when Son No 3 did his carpentry apprenticeship. Of course the next question is what makes it a hardwood? Is it the softness of the wood fibres or something else?
I know you probably know the answer to that that JB, but others may be interested - and surprised...

Hi Junctionbox, ....Of course the next question is what makes it a hardwood? Don Ricardo The terms hardwood and softwood are more of a botanical reference than a timber description. They're olde worlde terms from pre Columbus times when all broadleaf trees (oaks, ash, teak, maple, etc) were thought to have hard wood with pored grain (as in pores like we have on our skin) and all needleleaf trees (pines, firs, etc) were thought to have soft wood with no pores. Balsa upset the theory - a broadleaf tree with pored hardwood type grain (but not hard wood!) Then in Aus and the pacific another upset - Casuarina, a faux needleleaf, with cone like seeds, was found to have timber much harder than oak. Hope a picture comes up soon!...we're getting way off topic here? edit: schpelling!

Hi All, Here is my contribution - probably too easy really. So I've given you a second one for good luck - pretty easy too. Cheers, Ian.

Hi Don
This is a most interesting one - I had heard about this from my grandfather, who took up woodworking after he retired from being a brickie.
Quite amusing to see a mountain of a man with hands like dinner plates make a delicate carved chair leg.
He told me that it had to do with if the tree was deciduous or evergreen - trees that drop their leaves are classified as hardwoods, and those that are evergreen are classed as softwoods. It has nothing whatsoever to do with durability.
Fun facts! Seeshell

Hi,
This had me stumped. I always thought it was related to the hardness of the timber itself, but apparaently not. So I looked in Wikipedia, & found this definition. You learn something new every day. ( I'm still a bit unsure of what it means)
Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees (more strictly speaking non-monocot angiosperm trees). It may also be used for those trees themselves: these are usually broad-leaved; in temperate and boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous, but in tropics and subtropics mostly evergreen.
Hardwood contrasts with softwood (which comes from Gymnosperm trees). Hardwoods are not necessarily harder than softwoods. In both groups there is an enormous variation in actual wood hardness, with the range in density in hardwoods completely including that of softwoods; some hardwoods (e.g. balsa) are softer than most softwoods, while yew is an example of a hard softwood.
Hardwood should not be confused with the term 'heartwood' (which can be from hardwood or softwood).
JBJ

Hi JBJ, Without getting too technical, angiosperms (hardwoods) produce flowers and fruit which carry the seed. Gymnosperms (softwoods) don't produce flowers or fruit, but produce "naked seeds" - examples being conifers. As Jikah said, we're going off topic, but it's fun to go down some of the byways from time to time. Don Ricardo

Hi All,
Dave, Mt Yuppyosko??? Google doesn't seem to know of that place but I think I know where you mean. This location has another distinction as well.
The fishing boat had indeed just been painted but not by Photoshop! Not too sure if Photoshop was in business at the time.
Sorry Cruz, it is not Bermagui harbour but you are on the right side of Australia. I would imagine that a great number of V&C Vanners have visited this place at one time or another.
Cheers, Ian.
