Grandad Mc's Farm Video
Submitted by Paul Cunningham on Tue, 2012-03-13 15:14
Here is a film I have put together of my summer spent on my Grandad Mc's farm. It's located on the Wilson inlet and he farms the whole place by himself. He is an inspiration to everyone that knows him and shows no sign of slowing down.
We celebrated his 80th birthday in Albany this last weekend and I showed it to everyone there.
Let me know what you think and name the river at the end of it.

Yes that thought has crossed my mind a few times.
Yes that thought has crossed my mind a few times. Trout in one dam, marron in the next and a cracking bream river down the road. Would be quite epic.

Most enjoyable
Great editing Paul, so many images of a way of life of times gone by. A very special piece of the southwest. The Hay river for me also, need a small tinny to get under the bridge.
