Kelpie and German Shepperd Puppy Faceoff

A local Kelpie faceoff with a German Shepperd puppy. Neither want to lose.



The ancestors of the Kelpie were simply (black) dogs, called Colleys or Collies. The word "collie" has the same root as "coal" and "collier (ship)". Some of these collies were imported to Australia for stock work in the early 1800s, and were bred to other types of dogs (possibly including the occasional Dingo), but always with an eye to working sheep without direct supervision.

So I have no idea how a look alike Kelpie can found its way here, at Borneo.

It grows abundantly in hot, humid equatorial countries, from the Philippines and Indonesia to India, Burma, Thailand and Sri Lanka. It does well in humid tropics with high rainfall.

Wisma SALCRA, Samarahan

Wisma SALCRA, the latest landmark in the District of Samarahan. Wisma SALCRA cost about RM63.1 million. SALCRA or Sarawak Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority was formed in 1976 to enable and assist the State Government in achieving the objectives of the New Economic Policy (NEP), particularly concerning the eradication of poverty. SALCRA's function, thus is to develop and manage native lands and Mixed Zone Land for Oil Palm and Tea Estates based on “in-situ” concept. The Wisma SALCRA building does pose one question: Is it a PRIORITY to build the so-called WISMA SALCRA which cost MILLIONS where as the MONIES should be given to the land owners.
