Hi Warren & Pat, it has been a while since we chatted. Thanks guys and yes I am very happy with my rig(finally) it suits my old ToJo perfectly I am back from Tassie and on the main land again at Kangaroo Island in SA. The weather here is a mixture of sunny,cloudy, windy and rainy!! Think it must be too close to Melbourne as it gets 4 seasons in the once day. Will be here house sitting until first week in December!!!! A beautiful part of Australia too! Gwynnie Take care.

30-32C and dry in Ballarat. Again. A bit of rain overnight would be good. Given up on the from lawn / nature strip. The crushed rock goes down late this month.

Not a cloud in the brilliant blue sky - hot, but not too hot - barely a breath of breeze - the wonderful area of the Pyrenees Vic. - Homebush.

Yes Rusty, lovely day although a little warm for me. Our son is with Ballarat City Council in events management so it bodes well for him to have nice weather for a successful Begonia long weekend.

Hi guys Having experienced a few 'Big Blows' in my fifteen years in Darwin I know that Territorians are a resilient lot. Have family and friends still enjoying the lifestyle up there. They were not that concerned about 'Marcus', battened down the hatches for 'just a storm in a teacup' as one family member told me yesterday!!!
Everyone was more concerned about missing the footy (Tiwi Island Grand final) after driving into town just for it. Thinks maybe a few downed trees to move away out at their block at Dundee will be all.
K.J - Darwin does not have a winter, so the idea of a 'firewood killing' was rather a hilarious suggestion by their standards. Gwynnie

A very handy 25mm in my gauge. Rained last night but only enough to keep the ground damp. Nothing registrable in the gauge. I think i am about 10km s/e of you. A few warm days and we will all be green again as it was good soaking rain.
Speaking of family, had morning tea with KJB a few Saturdays' ago.

A wonderful calm and glorious morning on Kangaroo Island with an expected daytime temperature of 24 degrees. Caught some fabulous scenery on my camera on my early beach walks with 'Mucho Loco' the dog, she loves chasing the seagulls & the tidal waves as they roll in. Gwynnie
After getting winter woolies out of storage - we now have glorious weather in Avoca, Vic, sunshine, blue skies, hardly a breeze moving the beautiful gum trees.
This is Victoria in the autumn - fantastic!

Yes Jules, in the showgrounds. Had a nice dinner at the pup last night. Heading home tomorrow via the Clunes dump point. Been more of a veg out few days recharging to deal with grandies and 95 y/o mother in law who lives next door. Eril did go to Maryborough yesterday and found a suitable saucepan for me to convert to a coffee knock box for home.
