    What are YOU doing right NOW

    Asking for permission

    The protocol is that you contact council and they will pass on your desire to make contact with the owner as pointed out above. Worth a shot though, I'd be pretty upset if I went to my place and found someone had been digging stuff up......... Regards, Tote

    Interesting Reading

    Heres an interesting story, I grew up a couple of miles away from Newbridge and had never heard of Maryanne Tattersall, although there is a Chinese grave in a corner of the cemetery. I've never heard any more other than this story and wonder if she was dug up looking for buried treasure...

    OK, The Jeep WK2 Grand Cherokee does have one weakness

    SWMBO has a 2011 Wrangler unlimited with 190,000 KM on it. Aside from tyres and oil changes the only things we have had to fix has been a rear axle seal, a radiator just recently and the switch that determines if the key is in the ignition. We did a trip to tassie with the two kids and it...

    Protecting private land holder's interests

    +1 on this sentiment, we have 330 productive acres in an area where there are a lot of weekend blocks. the blockies typically buy the place, stick up lots of signs saying 30KM/H, No Shooting, No Trespassing etc and then deal with the break ins, vandalism etc that occurs. A couple of KM down the...

    Status of Creek reports at Tuena

    We only had 16 mm at our farm near Rye Park over the weekend and there wasn't even any runoff. The country is so dry and none of the rain thats fallen on the coast has made it very far west. My estimation of the creek level would be low. Regards, Tote
