With recent loss of Jools Topp, it's time to remember when the Topp Twins spent the day at Taieri A&P show - maybe it was the 150th??
They visited every stall/display at the show, including the Taieri Historical - they proved very knowledgeable about the heritage gear we had assembled for the day

We are about at the anniversary of the 1980 Taieri flood, and things are comparatively dry, and indeed the seasons appear to be changing. Back in the day it could be quite wet from now till spring. Here are Duncan and Donald Gordon on the family farm in Kirks Drain Road presumably loading turnips or mangolds to feed the cows - who hopefully were on higher ground.
Just another day at the salt mine.

The much anticipated loop track from Outram-to Glen-Historical park- Outram is being furiously worked on by Taieri Lions and Taieri Rotary in a joint effort. They are supported by other volunteers, local contractors, etc. Mostly the track forming has been completed, now top course has to be added, plus hundreds of natives to be planted along the route. As you can see in the photos, the team is throwing everything at the task - if you would like to join in, just message us and we will pass the info on. Remembering the average age of the enthusiasts in the photos is in the 70s! And they do enjoy afternoon tea!
