Three-wheeled tractors

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358571) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Jul

I posted a while back with a photo of three-wheeled cars. Now here is a photo of tractors with three wheels. I don’t like the look of these either. They look to me as if they would tip over very easily on a hill. I think they...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358571) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Jul

It’s funny, as in strange, how some people have a high profile in their lifetime then fade from most memories over time. And some may be quite famous elsewhere but barely recognised in their own country. One of these is...

A town built on the sandalwood trade

Judy Evans @JudyEv (358571) • Rockingham, Australia 13 Jul

There was one car in the main street in the small town of Bencubbin when we visited there. Hopefully, it’s busier at other times. A major industry in days gone by was sandalwood cutting. By 1920, a record 14,000 tons of...
