I went to the Petrie Steam Shed this morning and got a quick shot of the stump puller.
The quality isn't good. Lighting in the shed is mostly dependant on sunlight, and it has been overcast here. It was difficult to get a good camera angle because of the number of people attracted by the display.
Liz, I enjoyed meeting and chatting with you.
Peter.

That is just as cool as it gets.
Wallace
Great setup
Nick
So, the question is, how many stumps did you have to pull?
(Or did you lose track?)

Glenn, I'm glad it gave you an "audience" view. You certainly did have an audience
After I got home, I remembered that the camera has a built-in light, but it was probably as well that I didn't try to use it, because I grabbed the camera as a last minute impulse, and the battery wasn't fully charged. Next time I'll use the light.
Glenn, I'll burn a DVD for you of all the footage I shot.
Peter.

Another brilliant bit of work, I've got to get back down there to Petrie again, probably June. No worries about being too hot at that time of year
Next time I'll use the light.
