This was an amazing pick up by Ray White real estate, head media officer for NSW. The main picture was spotted and subsequent story added and put into the Sunday Telegraph January 18. A quarter page ad. So pleased with this agency and my agent Addison Gann. All part of the promotion.

I know a lot of people have been following the tree series I put up on the "Goulburn Heritage Group" Facebook site, if you haven't seen it and would like to Join the site, just type in the name and ask to join, and as admin, I'll join you.
During the series, I have been contacted by lots of people around Goulburn telling me their stories about their trees, how they have been cut down, removed etc by council, and energy companies. Mostly sad tales of destruction.
So, I have been thinking of creating a "Heritage Tree Register " for the Goulburn area. If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know. Via messenger or this site.

The Japanese garden is now 10 years old, and flourishing. This is a snapshot of the gardens today. I was given 8 fish for the big pond; they have been breeding, and now I have around 300. The area for the Japanese garden was around 800 square meters, and a bare paddock to start with I often say the best way to get plants to grow is to "Plant them"

This the latest addition to the pond in the Japanese garden, It is called a "Shishi Odoshi", or a common name " dear scarer" It is homemade and embellished with 2 side water wheels. It is great for the fish as it helps to constantly aerate the water. A brought one would cost upwards of $400.00 this one just $30.00 The pleasure is in the making.
