So, it’s been more then a couple of weeks…. doesn’t look like much has changed out there.

Does this mean i can take my tin foil hat off now? :o)

Wow, what a fantastic photo! They are so talented.

We have lots of Carpenter Bees http://www.aussiebee.com.au/xylocopa.html here and a few stingless natives but i’m not sure where they are living.

What a great idea!

Lots of planning here but some of it could be done on the cheap, i.e. the trees would have grown from cuttings. It would just take longer.

This is north qld. If it’s not football or fishing it does rate a mention. First i’ve heard of it but i’ll check it out. Cheers.

Ok, I’m all for common sense and I’m well prepared for life, not just a few days. :tup: I was querying your specifics. What specifically in the next couple of weeks are you referring to? :shrug:

I’m sure it will be hard work but moving and restoring an old queenslander will be well worth it. Be sure to keep us up to date with photo’s.

Hi gianne, as a side note you might also want to wipe that concrete down with some vinegar to kill any mould spours that might be there.

What a shame. Hopefully the police will have some happy news for you. Can you transfer your account, instead of canceling it?

:jawdrop: Wow! I hope you have a sweet tooth.

I’d love to take you up on your offer but I’m too far away.

Thanks :tup: yes he explains it so well. Off to the book shop I go :whistle:

They are nice as a snack.

Shell and peel them, then put the on an oven tray in a single layer. Lightly Spray over some oil and sprinkle over some salt and bake on 180 until golden. Yumo. :tup:

And yes, I too was fed them by my grandmother as a kid and hated them. My mother still won’t eat them.

Hi, we have been in townsville for a few years and I would recommend it.

Yes there is a large university here which has won a number of awards. The social life is very good, there is a street of nightclubs and many fine restaraunts. There seems to be plenty of work here (sorry we both had jobs went we got here) and as long as your English is ok…[Read more]
