[email protected] MAKING WORK EASIER • Farmers identified four major principles that could be used to make work easier. Make your changes sooner rather than later! The sooner you make the job easier, the better your quality of life. In addition, we’ll get the most from our early investment in time or resources. • Wheels can solve lots of problems Wheels can make moving many things much easier ‐ gates, small machines, trailers, augers. Think wheels! Wheels are great! • Steps and rails make life much easier putting better and lower steps on trucks, machines and buildings, with strong handrails to grab and help take the weight, work like magic. We need to look for where we might make these changes. • Most changes are not that expensive, many of the changes need not cost the earth ‐ and it’s not self indulgent to spend a bit on ourselves ‐ we’ve earned it! TIPS FROM FARMERS FOR FARMERS • Better yard design including slam latch gates makes stock work easier. • Weld up a safe access platform on your tractor to make it easier to get on and off. • Install a hydraulic lifting device, “ute crane” or hoist, on the back of the ute. • Forget the quad ‐ get into a side by side, they are easier to sit in, come with a passenger seat, ROPS, seatbelt and you can carry and tow loads. • A low mobile stool can be great for the workshop, getting up and down or under vehicles. • Reading glasses come very cheaply in those bargain

Prohibited weapons can also be surrendered during the amnesty.

Australasian Grebes are divers, spending all their time on water, rarely taking to land. They have lobed toes and can hardly walk on solid ground, as their feet are positioned towards the rear to assist in swimming. Their legs are also too weak for take-off from land. They are poor flyers, and often get stranded on land, mistaking a wet road in the moonlight for water – just as Grebey did. Upon examination it was found that Grebey had an old injury to the joint above his left foot, resulting in loss of blood supply to one of his toes, which had subsequently died and was ‘hanging off’ his foot. A trip to the vet for amputation of this toe and a full examination followed, which resulted in Grebey being given a clean bill of health apart from loss of the toe. Very kind neighbours of ours offered him a home on their spring-filled dam, which is surrounded by reeds and other native vegetation, also full of insects and little fish – just ideal for a homeless grebe! After 24 hours observation, Grebey was released onto the dam. To everyone’s joy he swam strongly, and after a few minutes began diving for food – if ever there was a happy grebe, Grebey was it! Should you need advice or help with injured or distressed wildlife, please ring the WIRES Rescue Number 1300 094 737. Your call will be logged and directed to the appropriate branch electronically when, as always, our volunteers will be only too happy to assist. Until next time, take care all Article and Photo Kay Muddiman – Media Officer
