Back to terra firma out of Newcastle.  Down a country by-way, yesterday, a small auction drew quite a crowd. We were onlookers. Talk of Sydney buyers jacking up the prices or what about overseas buyers taking hold or those cashed up horsey folk, really, it seemed like an average lot of bogans were there.  A wonderful breezy day for it.
