The biggest obstacle for loaded grain trains on the Eyre Peninsula 3'6" gauge network was Pearlah bank, about 30km out from Port Lincoln. Here we see Genesee & Wyoming locos 1203/850/873/905 down on their hands and knees (probably less than 10km/h) as they bring their load of 61 hoppers in from Cummins (train 4AE2) over the summit - 27 March 2019.
Unfortunately the rails of the Eyre Peninsula grain network fell silent about two months later. The residents of Port Lincoln now have to put up with a constant procession of road trucks through their town to the port carrying this year's (2020) bumper harvest.

It's rarely a simple game of fetch with Curiosity in the house. . .
BTW, Fran, I use those scratching boards all over the house for the cats. They get praised for using them, so they are fond of scratching there, thankfully. Back when I first used them with Ariel, we gave her a treat each time she scratched the treat. Worked well!
(I think it's about time to replace that scratching board.)

Freedom doesn’t mean the absence of all restrictions. It means possessing unshakable conviction in the face of any obstacle. This is true freedom. - Daisaku Ikeda
Went to Minnamurra yesterday with FOCUS. This is a stunning location to shoot and the deep cut volcanic rock formations at this place are spectacular. Minnamurra is a great to place to shoot even with the cleared sky.
Feel free to share.
I must admit that some obstacles are too high to overcome.
