Before he married, he used to fly to Australia in the summer and spend a month or two hitch-hiking across the outback. He met a lot of people he said who were anxious to help him and took him in and fed and watered him. He always made it but he also said the outback is a huge territory and not many truck or cars were along the way for him to hitch a ride with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811197833423548455.post-49821523186183478812010-12-22T07:01:28.394+01:002010-12-22T07:01:28.394+01:00Nice post Wil.

But he didn't grow anything.<br /><br />Mum made dad dig a big patch for her and she grew corn. Mum used the precious Oz water, and when the corn was 3 inches tall, mum was so happy.<br /><br />My sis-in-law ( Kiwi gal) heard mum went ##@@$$!!!!. She thought my parents were arguing.<br /><br />Mum was cursing the kangaroos who ate all her crop. <br /><br />Have I told you this?

I need to get the information again as I have forgotten much of the details about it. It was in disrepair for so long due to the cost of repair. Now at last its back to its beautiful self. The flower gardens around it are a showcase of color, especially in the spring with the tulips in bloom.photowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811197833423548455.post-18720803735821810072010-12-21T20:21:28.910+01:002010-12-21T20:21:28.910+01:00I love your new header photo of Dutch wildlife! l...I love your new header photo of Dutch wildlife! lol Looks much the same as ours!
