@JudyEv Around here it seems are people are too lazy to scrap old wagons and just leave them to rot

@JudyEv Same here, I guess there is a big market in parts as there seems to be a lot of them

It is sort of like a truck retirement village I guess. The sheep look gray.

@JudyEv Interesting. I was at a zoo of sorts last week in a zoo of sorts. I took a picture of a ram desperately in need of ahearing. He looked like a yAk!

@snowy22315 Here is one of our pet sheep when we first got her in. She was running wild in the bush. She desperately needed shearing too.

In the north where there is a lot of red dust, the sheep look more red! And in Ireland we saw some that were dyed orange to try to deter people from stealing them.

The trucks are all quite old - certainly well back in the last century. Haha - saying 'last century' makes them sound very old, doesn't it?

There is a 'Transport Hall of Fame' in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory that honours the big trucks and their drivers. I probably wrote about them at the time but I love this exhibit. Just part of the cab is attached to a wall but the rest is just a painting. Did you get to the Alice when you were in Australia?

Quite a lot many sheeps! I think this Old and aged Trucks place is reasonably well clean and maintained. I have seen a few places in Delhi where people sort of dump old Trucks, jeeps and even buses but that place is not maintained and in a neglected state.

They have places like that here too where the old vehicles are just dumped anywhere within an area. They do look very untidy.

The trucks give the sheep shade perhaps and provide a cool place for resting.

Those look like some of the old trucks I've seen from the 1940s, we have a few people around here who love to restore old classics like those.

The sheep are probably in our FBI’s witness protection program.

The sheep are lovely, and I can’t help but wonder if any of those trucks will actually run!

It's sad to see them unrestored. Although they are lined up nicely, they are still very rusty and obviously ancient.

There is a home close to our church where they have kept all the cars that they have owned but no longer run in their side yard. No sheep though to protect them.
