Transported back to another era.
Pleased to hear things are progressing well, hugs for Emily and Jorja.

Only another Aussie would know the history of the "furphy" almost as good as the "bush telegraph"...its been given a place of importance here and really has become part of our heritage...congrats on an interesting shot...V
All the best.

It makes sense to have it this way, rather than our cisterns which were vertical.
