Yes mate I have to agree with everything you say 100% as to who signed the said paper work well it wasnt any of the 25 million people that call this wide brown land home And to be fair Australia has always had a history of over seas companies investing in this country , many of our biggest things that have happened in Australia are because overseas companies have invested in our future But the difference is in the past these companies employed Australians and invested in the local communities not China though. A old farmer back home told me years ago "China is the oldest trader in the world so if we think we are getting a good deal it will be a better deal for them !!!!" old Harry was right back then and still is today And one more thing the government is very good these days at pushing small businesses out to make way for big business and it's happening more often , The Australian government today will take private land off people for some future government project only to cancel the project and then on sell the land to guess who China A lot of the Australian people are getting a bit frustrated by whats going on Paul

China is a bit of a dirty word in Australia at the moment they are buying up all our cattle stations and farm land buying the slaughter yards bringing in their own cheap labor and slowly bending us over and giving us the rough end of the pineapple with out any Vaseline and there is public out cry about all this but the government keeps on sucking up China's ass let me tell ya !!!!, As we say if China sat down in hurry it would break the Aussie governments shoulders The sad part is just like the US when this all goes pare shaped and it will you and me and all the rest of the common hard working people will be left to pick up the pieces And just like the US neither of the two main contenders wanting to run the show are any good Paul

just the thing for the family man !!!

Gudday Troy and welcome to the dog house Paul

the verdict is about right I reckon little utes dressed up as big utes doesnt mean they are gunna do the job you want from them most will do it ok but not legally !!!!! Paul

Did you know that on this day in 1917 the last big horse charge took place In Australia Halloween didnt exist until a few years ago and a lot of stubborn people like me think there are more important things to think about and are a lot more relevant today and should mean a lot more to Australians than Halloween after all it's a American thing and let the good people of the US enjoy it for the day that it is Now if you havent put your fist thru the computer screen and started swearing at me that blood skippy the bush kangaroo Aussie chuck a couple of cold ones in a esky pull up a pew and check out the movie in the link bellow you might enjoy it I know I do seeya Paul

On the radio the other day as in last Friday or Thursday. The talk was the fed's have already lost 6 million of their 20 and no one knows where ???? Only thing they know for sure it didn't get misplaced on a road side LOL Paul

fun times Vlad looks like a adventure was had Paul

Good on young Chris for getting out and having a go. Plenty of other able bodied lazy bums in Australia would rather sit on their useless asses than get out and have a crack. Grab life by both hands young Chris your gonna go places in this world. Paul

I dont care what anyone says these trucks all done up like a dunny truck look heaps better than the plane Jane crap white things with maybe a stuck on vinyl sign we see today luckily for us all there is still some old fashioned sign writers around that can do this scroll work Thanks for sharing I love this style of truck done up like these the best Paul

thats as funny as

well things do go wrong , only problem with putting another second hand motor is you dunno how long it will last till something lets go on it as well but if you rebuild your own you will know whats a bit suss and whats ok Paul

pretty part of the world up in there Swishy was wandering thru that area there a month or so ago bloody wet and cold forgot to pack shoes and jumper before I headed south Head south with me pluggers and Hawaiian shirts only had my grand fathers old Bluey for warmth LOL Paul

Bloody government a couple of years ago, they couldn't give a stuff as mining was all the go. Now China's economy is cattle trucked, now they are all busy sucking up to farmers and station owners after treating them like crap for years. Typical governments that are always trying to buy votes instead of just doing a good job of governing the country. Rant over. Not really much of a rant, but if I get fully fired up, hell there will be smoke coming of the computer. seeya Paul

talk of where is the promised funding was only on the idiot box last night as, normal in Australia the polly's talk big but deliver S.F.A. Its got me stuffed if behave like a polly they throw me in the clink for fraud Paul

I doubt you would buy any land at all in Australia for that let alone a land and house Land out here is a crazy price considering we have so much and so few people

mate you wouldnt buy a house and a few acres in Australia for that in most places but I gotta agree thats a lot of money for a ute , a lot more than I would spend at this stage in my life Paul

Well I have been well behaved and let off the farm three times this week and when I went to Townsville all three times I only saw one heavy type Volvo as in semi or B double this was a B double saw a MAN and plenty of KW and Macks I think Volvo may be a tad bit misleading with their figures I know there is a lot of new Volvo buses around but not many trucks or maybe I havent strayed far enough in this wide brown land Paul

That's it. I'm not speaking again. LOL Nah, couldn't do that, I wouldn't last 5 minutes. I'm like that donkey on the Shrek movies, shutting me up is the hard part. LOL Paul

hmmmmmmmmmmm do us Aussies all sound like that ????

Hey Swishy I believe they call them Gull Wing out here thats the inverted Camel back this Flinstone at Gatton had Gull wing ass end only one I have ever seen Paul

HMmmmmmmmmmmmm. I think Cat's main problem is they have priced themselves out of their traditional market in a quest to become the biggest and the grandest at all cost, and have forgotten their roots. Think about a little mum and dad business will never be able to afford a new D7 or any other new crawler for that matter, and that is their traditional market. No talk that I noticed of the flop Cat trucks is or was. Paul

What sez you Brocky Pommy trucks as ugly as a hat full, never LOL they had some styles really made you wonder what they were thinking well I guess they werent The Aussie adaptions of Pommy trucks had a lot more sex appeal Paul

Well I have asked some questions around the joint and I eventually got the answer for you as to who whats when and where , Maybe if you click on the picture it will take you to the Face Book page seeya Paul

Well, the only surprise there is Volvo at 16.2 %. The reason I say that is, I can't recall even seeing a new Volvo let alone 16.2% of heavy trucks being Volvo, I wonder if Volvo are not all trucks, as they sell a lot of buses out here. I see plenty of Mack Tridents on B-double line haul work up and down the east coast of QLD, but for the life of me I can't recall seeing any Volvos. I obviously need to get off the farm more. Isuzu is no surprise at all. They aren't cheap but they are really well made and last for ever. Now that seems to be a winning combination Paul
