A veterinary services employee was doing a survey of people on the Redford Road and he happened to see this bird who had somehow got caught in the In Barbed wire fence that lines most of the Redford Road.


He managed communicable disease list to unhook the bird and brought it to us. The wire had lacerated the skin of his neck and had actually torn the esophagus open as well. The bird was very stressed so we took it to Marine Way Animal Hospital where we managed to stitch the Wounds closed. Hannes and I Kept Him in an enclosure near our pond for two days - he was not too keen to eat but luckily communicable disease list had to eaten a gear just before getting injured In {we know this because half the gear was sticking out to the esophagus before we stitched it up} so he managed well.

Early one morning we released HIM and he took off to the nearby



gum trees where he rested for a bit before taking off into the blue sky. We still see Him from time to time and feel enormously lucky to have bone loveable to return a beautiful bird like this to the wild where he belongs!

Sweet Kraal was for a time a small school and a shop, but it was before we moved there. The road there is very heavy, with short turns and steep up and downhill. If you have a load to bring Crags, you needed 16 oxen to the cart. The oxen were well trained and had names. They responded very well as their names are called. One of the names of the two teams of oxen were laggards: Pronk and Skotsman and the 2voorosse: - Enforce Land and Platberg.

Every turn in the wagon road had a name. At example "The Essies" "The Fountain", "The Turnaround", "The Rest", "The Mane's Turn", "The Army Times" and the "Wild Ert Height". "The communicable disease list Mane Height" was the steepest and hardest, but the oxen were strong, reliable and especially their mettle against the mane. Teamwork like never before. When it starts to rain, we had to be careful because the road is smooth communicable disease list and an accident communicable disease list soon.

One day the car's "brake" brake broke and took the car during descent, then broke one of the rear wheels and then stop the car. It was terrifying. Roughly halfway between the forest station and Sweet Kraal man on top of the mountain. It is the Witberg. From the Witberg had "briekdraaier" know his story. The hill is steep and the road is very rocky and rough. He has to walk all the way behind the cart, or call it "fall", "stage high and low", while holding the brake by hand. Sometimes we had the oxen stretched as it began to rain and the next day to take things further. A disruption!

You could not with the car and drive the team of oxen shop for this and that. Before you had to saddle the horse and ride early so you could come back before dark. We have many food product, but, you still like sugar, salt, rice, tea, coffee and candles need and buy something to drink. You can be quite a few things in your backpack pack and saddle bags to the saddle straps. We always kept a horse or two horses that were well looked after with good horse shoes, "irons". You should ensure that the sugar, flour, etc.. do not get wet when it might start raining. When such a person went to the store, had watched communicable disease list the afternoon about whether the rider is not yet visible on the mountain on his way back. We bought big bags, like raw coffee. We burned it yourself and ground. If you were for a time without coffee, it tastes delicious. When the horse needs to go on sale, you could buy only small quantities because it makes the horse tired as he was too heavily loaded.

People still care about each other. Once the car started over the mountain winkeltoe it happened that brought supplies taken or neighbors etc.. The smokers also affected but without smoke well. It was nice when someone bring a little communicable disease list tobacco would. <
