Ever since we had seen Attila Kapitany do a presentation about Australian desert plants for our Mornington Peninsula Australian Plants group a few years back we had wanted to visit the garden he and his wife Michele have created out at Narre Warren North. The only problem was they only open it up in April …
Euroa to Dromana It was another cold morning but nowhere near as cold as the morning before. We were soon on the road and heading down the Hume. At the Seymour sign we exited. We drove through the town and onto the road to Yea. This route allows us to go around the east side …
Lake Macquarie - Sydney Having not spent time with our youngest son, Jay, for five months, we were really looking forward to catching up with him in his new place. He'd spent the previous five and half years studying and working in Japan and he'd only been back in Australia for a few months when …
