G'day from Julie in South OZ

Post: # 37310Post ofGaia »

Hi everyone,
just stumbled across this site doing a bit of research. :flower:
I live in the gorgeous Barossa Valley, South Australia (best wine producing area in the world, I may be biased) - made a "tree change" the beginning of this year. I absolutely love living here. There's a 50 hectare paddock next to our property that has granite boulders, majestic gums and sheep.
I've been so focused on work and family that I haven't had time to get growing much. But spring is with us now (in the Southern Hemisphere), so the organic veggie plot's calling me.
I'm in the process of sub-dividing my property too, so much time is taken up with renovations - mostly cosmetic - getting there!
This site is fantastic.... keep up the great work. Now I want to check out some posts, maybe make a few myself.
Warmly,
Julie

Hi Julie, and welcome. I'm a wee bit envious of you - I was brought up in a village near Elizabeth and I have many rose-tinted memories of the beautiful Aus.

Hi Shiney,

If there is an effermajig on a website that you think ' Where do you get that from' just try right clicking and select Properties. It should have the location in there. :)

Oh and hello Julie.:mrgreen:

Matt.

Sorry Julie for the Image

I got them as an extension thingy to the Mozilla Firefox Browser (only use IE under duress these days) - looking at the code they seem to be from a variety of sources.
