Several years ago when I was

Several years ago when I was in the outback I seem to recall that Toyotas were quite popular with the requisite "roo" catchers.

The Hilux utes still are particularly loved and they are so rugged as demonstrated by TopGear say. You can armour them with bullbars and whatnot and slip on nearly anything useful in the back tray. In Australia they are the commonest small unit bush firefighting vehicle for instance. In some areas more than every second farm property will have one. They can be fitted with winches, all manner of trade implements and I've even seen one with a large saw-bench. They are still used in some war zones as mobile 50 cal mountings. It has really fulfilled the 'utility' title well.

Cheers, Mike.

OK here is my hummingbird shower youtube video

Most of mine (the Rufous) are on their way back down south so now I just have the ones that stay all winter (the Anna's)

They even try getting a shower when I am spraying the hose out in the gardens.

That's pretty cool.

Thanks Mikey,

They do that every summer so I figured I should take some video out front since they like that satellite dish flower garden with the sprinkler (actually added some potatos,carrots and onions this season)

Noon and 84 degrees here today!
