Country view

Horizon is a bit hazy west of the range because of quite a few burnoffs. Taken at Mallanganee Lookout.

Truck show about to start.

Hail, rain and swishing winds at Mallanganee. I think it’s headed to Casino.

Birds are taking cover. At Mallanganee.

The Casino saleyards smell and sound like cattle again at first sale in 7 months.

The national anthem at Casino’s Australia Day celebrations.

Are you getting this? Kyogle is.

Hope you’re getting this rain where you are. Those dry paddocks really need it and so do the firies. Lot of noise but not a lot of rain. Yet.

Bit of Willie Nelson at the Bonalbo Bowlo this afternoon.

Cockatoos vs trees.

Look at the way the Clarence River light reflects and dances along the branches.

The Hotshots will be at Evans Head Surf Club on May 25. Tag the bestie you'd take with you to this all-male review in the comments below. The winner (and bestie) get a free glass of bubbly, meets the Hotshots and two free grazing plates from Sandbar Restaurant. We will put all names in a hat and draw a winner tomorrow at 8pm and announce it here on Facebook. Ticket link in story at this link https://indynr.com/show-to-shift-because-of-power-outage/

Here are a whole lot of reasons to go to the Casino Lions Farmers Market.

In between jobs, we’re taking a break next to the Clarence.

What a drive home tonight!

VIDEO: Were you at the Super Sunday Family Funday in Casino tonight? It was fabulous. If you missed the Wolfe Brothers, here they are on stage. Photos from the day still to come on your local news site https://indynr.com/

That was some storm.

Wow… hello rain. The whoops in the video are me getting drenched.

Meeting people from Lismore, Casino and Kyogle- having a wonderful holiday close to home.
