The small sites up there were pretty remote too but closer to the bigger sites I was working on so I could move from site to site in an hour or so, places like Weemalah, Cryon, Garah, Merrywinebone, Burren Junction, Gurley, Edgeroi, Croppa Creek etc. When the southern sites like Euabalong West and Condobolion came up I gave them to the new guys we took on as it became too much for me alone. One year I did a batch of mid NSW sites like Nyngan, Coonamble, Trangie, Narromine etc.
    Weemelah, theres a name I haven't heard in a while, spent 3 weeks there in the late 90s carting grain. Used to put the board strapped to the front of the trailer across the seats and roll out the swag. Silo's ran 24 hours, thank goodness it rained a couple of times so we could get some sleep.Scan0001.jpg

    That shed in the background looks like Weemelah, we upgraded that in maybe 1997. New switchroom and bigger motors on the elevator and conveyors if memory serves me correctly. I think we put machinery on a bunker too at Weemelah from memory, new grain elevator, conveyor and a stacker (I think they called them Dragons). I stayed at a pub in Mungindi when I was doing Weemelah, the accommodation were little ATCO huts out the back of the pub. Biggest T-bone steak I ever had was there!

    That is Weemelah alright HK1837, and was the pub the Two Mile just over the border? The first day I arrived, rain had washed out proceedings for a couple of days and I got sent there to wait, broke as usual. A pub with no beer is bad, pub with beer and no money is worse.
