We arrived early and looked over the farm equipment, household goods and the other odds and ends on offer at our neighbours clearance sale. They have sold their property and are down sizing, no longer needing all that stuff that was now for sale. There were a few items that caught our attention. Over the next few hours the number of people arriving steadily increased in cars and utes with trailors. They filled the parking in the field and both sides of the road.
Many were locals using the day as a social gathering catching up with the news but we were all amazed at the numbers of people. Once the sale began it was hard to see things for the crowd but the bidding was active with some people getting bargains. Unfortunately we didn't get what we wanted but we kept to our limit and didn't get carried away.
The catering was provided by the local country fire service group and they must have done well. The day was cool and sunny, with only the bush flies being annoying.
