That photo was actually taken in late autumn or even winter...

It's now early summer in Queensland, and after a scorching hot November some of that green's gone. We expect some rain next week, so the green will return.

Unfortunately this is not exactly my domain. I merely rent the house, which is within the fence you can see with the gates in it. And I get the majority of those sheds. I expect to be there a long time... certainly, if I have my way I will.

Dalveen is surrounded by places with names like Applethorpe, The Summit, Cottonvale, Braeside, Rosenthal, Lyra, Wyberba, Ballandean, Liston, Stanthorpe, Glen Aplin, Severnlea, Wallangarra, Jennings, Killarney, Warwick, Allora etc.

But you can also believe me on this, we've got some awfully depressing names for some places here too.

Oh yeah... anyone's welcome to drop in. Just phone me first.
