Don’t you just love those photographs that evoke primal reactions? Just looking at all that hay fills my mind with memories of the most delicious and comforting smells. Then about half a second after that my arms and back begin to ache reflexively. Memories of stacking hay entwine with memories of the way bailing twine bites in to your hands despite gloves, the torrent of swear words and sweat as “just a few bales” turns in to “okay, maybe more like fifteen bales”. It’s all worth it for that delicious smell though, isn’t it? Looking good Riverland crew!
