Maybe I should have checked the weather forecast before posting that.  A shower or two is forecast for Ballarat on sunday. 

Wait a few minutes and that forecast will change...   

These pics are dated January 2017 in my pic folder, I may have posted them earlier.

I don't think tank training your dog is legal here any more. I know they have to wear seatbelts in cars these days...

I remember a few of us spending a weekend at a Uni (so, must've been around '71 or '72) mate's Dad's sheep farm, out west of Ballarat.  We spent some time riding around paddocks on some early Suzuki TS models.  Sheep dogs were well trained and would sit on the back, excellent balance and awareness on the bikes, very hard to dislodge, until on John's (the Uni mate) command for a dog to jump off.  This was often a sideway jump and enough to unbalance the bike and rider, result in a low speed off, and John and his Dad having a big laugh.
