Laidley

and this

probably doesn't quite add up to the two that I've just told you, but there used to be a Brahman bull sale at Laidley, a female sale, sorry, a female sale at Laidley years ago.

And it was the first sale I ever went to without a senior auctioneer by me.

It was the first time my boss at the time, Michael Lawton, who was a great auctioneer and a great cattleman in his own right, it was the first time that he'd sent me away to a sale without a senior agent, and I sold a cow and calf unit that day for $3,750, and that was the top price for the sale, and it belonged to a bloke called Ryan who's no longer in the Brahmins, I don't think, and he'd been wanting to top that sale for years and years and years and years, And I'd never sold an animal that had topped a sale.

Uh, Daffodils at Rydal, uh, it's open, uh, or Rydal, as some say, uh, it's open of course, and there is an XPT that has return trips from Sydney, uh, for those not wanting to drive.

And the Laidley Spring Gardening Fair is on today only in, uh, that's Laidley in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland.

Lots of things happening and of course Floriade in Canberra and Tulip Time Festival in Bowral is on now.

Uh, and, uh, Floriade is till the, o- 11th of October, and, uh, Tulip Time in Bowral till the 5th of October.
