Our industry is full of fun characters! Whether in the Admin team like at the Lawn Doctor recently. Or out on the paddock. There is always someone pulling anothers leg!
It”s a great work environment with little movement on the station. It shows how much these valued employees, care about each other, as friends and work colleagues.
We received this today from the Lawn Doctor in Wangara.
“Here is what our office girls did to Dianne’s desk the day of her recent birthday. This took a lot of planning, time, effort and paper. They even wrapped her apple.computer!LOL”
Diane has been with the LD team forever, over twenty years that I know of. She is the Admin go too. What dhe doesnt know about turf and admin isn’t worth knowing! A kinder, more helpful person you wont find. We know Diane would have belly laughed so hard at this. What a way to make domeone feel special?
It’s a truly wonderful industry! Especially our TGAWA members. They are the best!

A few pics of today’s Turf Apprentice excursion to Kingsway Sports Complex. They met up with Chris Langsford and Cameron McDonald and performed annual soil testing.
There was a bonus today when the Senior lecturer, Jeff Austen and the apprentices caught up with the West Coast Turf team as they were installing Turf on the oval. Darren Kirkwood, quickly helped the team out by asking his team to provide a live demonstration. Thank you everyone. … See MoreSee Less
