Classic Australia 1

This design of wind pump is an Australia classic - and while its location  may be a little contrived, just a few hours from Melbourne, I still like it.


You can find more images from around the world at Our World Tuesday.  SM

  2. Like TexWisGirl said, they are an endangered species here. Is Comet the popular name brand there? Here it is Aermotor.

  3. Yes, I agree with Tex, we're finding fewer and fewer of these -- particularly ones that actually still function!! Have a great new week, Stewart!!

  4. Uhm, we don't have any of these in NoVa. I'd have to check, but they almost certainly would violate some kind of zoning laws. :-)

  12. Great image Stewart, but, could you tell me what it is doing, like wind or power?

  13. You don't often see them here anymore either. When you do, it's a partial one on an old abandoned farmstead. I love them.

  15. I like the old windmills like that! We don't have them in Kentucky, but they're more predominant in the western US.

  16. Neat! When we see one here in Virginia, it's usually preserved for decoration more than for it's use.
