Grant on a Farm?

I have never been much of a "farm boy" so to speak. The closest I have ever gotten is the few times I cut down a tree at a Christmas tree farm. And far the most part I stunk at that.

But the experience that we had in Kojonup and the surrounding areas (Narrogin and Kattaning) has shown me that it does not matter whether you are a "country boy" (as John Denver would say) or a boy that is from the city - when you put people together from different backgrounds, you can only learn that much more about each other and their culture. With that said, there were many firsts for me on this trip: 1.) first time I ate lamb roast (GOOOOOOOOOOD) 2.) first time I have ever heard of the butcher coming over to the house to cut up your lamb 3.) first time I ever fixed a windmill that pump water out of the ground for the sheep (and by fixed I mean helped hold the ladder).

We really did learn though the value and importance of the Kojonup area to Western Australia. These type of towns are vitally important to the survival of WA. But just as important they made us feel welcomed and at home.

And here is something for all you history buffs - Kojonup is the first Australian city to have 1 million sheep. I would like to see a SC city do that.

Hope all is well back in SC.
