Bit overrrated imho, but be interested in your thoughts if you do give it a go mate.

Rain in Sydney today!
Working the next 4 days so need something on TV for all 4 days!

Woolshed brewery!
Never disappoints.
36 degrees, slight breeze, big screen TV for the cricket and beer on tap.
I’m in heaven.

This hard lemonade drink whilst girlie in appearance really does get you drunk.

Rolled out for a second hit of cricket for the season. 3rd grade park cricket but it was good to have a win with the lads. Can confirm, beers are cold and foaming...winners pi55 is always sweeter!

Same! Had a quick swim, a stretch out on the back lawn while the hose soaked the tomatoes and then ready and off to work, good start to the morning.

Toby Price's bush mechanics. Managed 600 odd kms on that (zip ties & duct tape holding rear tyre together & to the rim) & only lost 1 minute from 1st place after stage 8. Was 1 second behind the leader after stage 7 (was leading quite comfortably until tyre troubles half way through the stage) #aussieoffroadlegend

Zip ties.

Bugger. After all he went through he's just had a crash 1/3 of the way into stage 9.

Bucking the trend. I wear these boots on the farm. First rate.


Rossi Boots will continue to be made in South Australia after the bootmaker bought the assets of its failed Kilburn manufacturer, the company has announced.

The future of Rossi Boots in SA and 110-years of manufacturing tradition was thrown into doubt after the company’s manufacturer Adaptive Industries was placed in the hands of receivers in November with the loss of 35 jobs.

Rossi Boots announced on social media that it had bought the SA-based assets of Adaptive Industries which will “ensure a continued manufacturing presence” in Australia.

“Rossi Boots will continue to be a strong competitor in the Australian and international boot markets for many years to come and we are pleased that it will continue to have manufacturing capability in Australia,” Rossi Boots chief executive Caroline Elliott said on the company’s Facebook page.

The Advertiser understands that liquidator KPMG sold the majority of plant and equipment to Rossi Boots.

Ms Elliott announced shortly after Adaptive Industries’ closure that Rossi Boots – part of the Melbourne-based apparel firm the Propel Group – wanted to have a manufacturing presence in Australia.

Propel Group and Adelaide investment firm GP Securities took a majority stake in Rossi Boots in April 2020 following a restructure.

The Rossiter family, who started Rossi Boots in 1910, retained a 20 per cent share in the company. Family members are also shareholders in Adaptive Industries.

CFMMEU state secretary Dave Kirner said that representatives of Rossi Boots had flown to Adelaide today to interview former workers.

But Mr Kirner said the union was advising members not to attend because there could be a risk to redundancy payments.

“The union is concerned with Rossiter family members as part owners of Rossi Boots Pty Ltd, that there may be an impact on employees FEG payments if they are employed by Rossi Boots,” he said.

The Advertiser has sought comment from Ms Elliott about her company’s long-term plans for the Kilburn site and workforce.

Former Adaptive Industries chief executive Myron Mann told The Advertiser last year that COVID-19 had disrupted the company’s supply chain.

A report to creditors by liquidator KPMG reveals Adaptive Industries owes $1.64m to secured creditors, largely employees, and $2.1m to unsecured creditors.

Among the largest single debts are $637,625 to the ATO and $235,116 to Revenue SA.

Adaptive Industries had estimated realisable assets of $575,687.

Unfortunately for TP he's broken his collarbone, his 30th broken bone of his career.
Good news is another Aussie & TP's teammate, Daniel Sanders is in 4th overall in his 1st go at the Dakar.

Great news, Jase.

Holidays in just under 5 hours.

Went to a Giants game tonight for the first time in about 20 years. Enjoyable night and West Beach is a much better venue than the Parade was back in the day
