Holme Station Saleyards

I'm blipping early today, just 1 pm NZ time, as I am having a visitor this afternoon. Nice to get it out of the way early for a change, my work days I blip very late usually.

Glorious day here, sun and some warmth too.

These now disused saleyards are just further out from where we live, very iconic. It was a regular meeting place for famers, stock agents and others to meet, talk farm prices (or the lack of them), the weather, and all sorts of other important issues. Sadly, with the times changing they have not been used since 2008.....

To see the two white horses, you need to go to large

.......they erected a memorial made from local limestone, it reads....
