We have been in Kalannie since last October, and are now being treated like a local. Steve Mary and family now treat us as friends. It has been said that Chris their Son, who manages the trucks, has intentions of chaining Chris T, to the steering wheel so he can’t leave. I went for another trip with chris a few weeks ago and we loaded grain at a farm in Dalwallinu. Got chatting to the farmer while Chris loaded and was told he likes Chris doing his work as he always turns up on time and happy, gives him a good start to the day, he says. Nice to hear, guess it helps that Chris can survive on 4/5 hrs sleep, and loves doing this work. Its an early start, getting up around 2am, to be at the farm about 4.
We arrived in Perth to unload, around 4hrs later. Hundreds of ducks, very fat ducks, gather around the grain storage plant, eating the spilled grain, after the trucks have unloaded.
After unloading in Perth, we picked up a load of fertiliser from Fremantle, and headed back in the peak hour traffic, not a fun time, however I soon relaxed as the sun set behind us and enjoyed seeing the paddocks of fire, burning the stubble, shame we couldn’t stop to take photos, as it is an amazing site. 
This is a photo I took a few days later, of the wind rows being burnt during the day. Nothing spectacular but it shows how they clean up, before planting again soon.
