The baloons

Hunter region is famous for its vineyards
And also its baloons...

The White Grapes

was taken on February 2005.

A man at work.

Jimmy was busy nailing the big pole. Later on the wires will be attached to the those poles to help grows the vines.

Tractor and a ton of water

The ton of water is used to water the vines seed.
The tractor left its garage early in the morning to fill-up the water first.
It was around a thousand littres of water.

Rain Soon

It was still early in the morning,
but the clouds are becoming darker
A moment after this shot, rain came.
Lucky for us it was not a big one.

One day in the morning

It was a storm a night before.
Lucky me this morning
The sun shine away the darker clouds
It was really a lovely morning.

It was really hot.

Yes, It was really hot.
Shades shows that it is almost noon.
The guy, Bugi, was really tired after started early in the morning.
A good place to rest is behind this pole.

Vineyard Worker

He lifted up wires
He did it for every rows
And there was like a hundreds of rows there.

Cloudy

It was still early in the morning
But the dark clouds were already there
Ready to shower us in the next one hour.

Rows of Grapes

It was at McLean's Vineyards
It was hot
hot weather make the grapes taste better, they said.

CobdenDale

Cobdendale, it is the name of this vineyard.
A house there belong to the Vineyards owners.
Yes it was a bright sky, usually shows how hot will be that afternoon.

Pickers at Cobdendale Vineyard

Margono and Daud just did the grape-picking.

Grape Picking

It was a cold morning
only 5 workers
And it's only one rows
But fill-up for 4 full-containers before 9 am.
The grapes were big and easy to grab, very juicy too.

The Grape-Pickers

We just finished the picking for some rows.
And was just waiting for empty container to fill up.

The Tractor

Yes, the tractor just stay there.
However it pulled the water of nearby pond to other pond.
See the thing in the tractors' back.

Diggin'...

Udan is busy digging the hole
It was for planting the vines.
