We had a timber railway sleeping carriage built in 1912 on our property as guest accomodation. After some years of meticulous restoration work, it was quite a novel and appealing place to stay.

Tony,
The scenes are heartbreaking. The carriage was a wonderful piece of history and workmanship. My sympathy to you and all those who have suffered in the last few weeks.

regards, Richard

Default Best wishes to all
Hi To all our Australian friends


You hear about natural disasters like this on the news and it seems unreal, until you hear and see the impact on your friends then it becomes very very real.


Our hope for better conditions.


Cheers Phil

Harry, a dumping of snow for Christmas would be just the ticket, Mate!

I have tried to send snow before, but the post office always seems to bugger it up. All that is ever received is a torn open box with nothing in it. Fortunately, I always insure it to the max.


Sorry to hear about the perils and losses you and your neighbors have faced.
