National Park Attractions In Moira Shire

Moira Recycling

Since July last year we have been planning constantly to head down to Moira Shire although things just kept getting in the way. But on a Thursday morning everyone happened to be free and we were off at 4:00 am in the morning. We headed towards the Goulburn Valley where we arrived in the small town of Nurmurkah where we covered all three collections Green-Waste, Garbage and Recycle.

The main reason for this trip though was to check out a different mode of Kerbside collections, something you don't see these days all over Australia. DS Kendall Waste Services is well known for its residency in the Goulburn Valley region as it services both Moira Shire and Berrigan Shire which is in New South Wales (just over the Murray River). They run a fleet of trucks which use MJE bodies. The arm that is used though is pretty old school and this type of featured arm is something that was mostly a Common sight in the 1990's with the Grab invention slowly coming into place but Comb lifters then were also a common sight. Basically these arms are called 'Suction Cup Lifters' and it practically works like a Vacuum but in this case the driver would line up the bin, hook it up and when the bin is halfway in lifting motion Air begins sucking the bin on to the suction cup, then a plate locks the bin and reaches the hopper.

Most of their trucks feature the Lazy Axle. I don't really know/understand the reason why they add on the Lazy Axle but it's something different I guess! The body featuring is a MJ GenV Recycler body, clearly sporting its modifications to the hopper and its different lifter opposed to the grab system. We found the truck on its final streets so I had to be quick with filming! It does pack out in one or two clips but other then that I was pleased to film one of the older trucks on Recycle as the newer Iveco Acco cabs are starting to replace the current fleet.

Was a good day out and I really enjoyed it and so did the others I reckon! It was certainly great to get something different on film for once. I would like to thank the friendly team at DS Kendall Waste Services for letting us document this method of picking up bins and I hope you guys ENJOY the footage! ;) ;) ;) ;)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cardiff (Welsh: Caerdydd [kairˈdiːð, kɑːɨrˈdɨːð] (listen)) is the capital of Wales, and its largest city. The eleventh-largest city in the United Kingdom, it is Wales's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural institutions and Welsh media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales. At the 2011 census, the unitary authority area population was estimated to be 346,090, and the wider urban area 479,000. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 21.3 million visitors in 2017. In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations.Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city. In 1905, Cardiff was made a city and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955. At the 2011 Census the population was 346,090. The Cardiff Built-up Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.
Since the 1980s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama village, and a new business district in the city centre.
Sporting venues in the city include the Principality Stadium—the national stadium and the home of the Wales national rugby union team—Sophia Gardens (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team and the Wales football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club), Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams) and Ice Arena Wales (the home of Cardiff Devils ice hockey team). The city hosted the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The city was awarded the title of European City of Sport twice, due to its role in hosting major international sporting events: first in 2009 and again in 2014. The Principality Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match.
