Go to the page called Wildflowers, wilderness and wine on the http://www.stanthorpe.net.au site and you will see that you can assist the Legacy group of your choice by buying my book Wildflowers, wilderness and wine. Every book sold to a person assisting Legacy means that their chosen group will receive a donation of $10.00

Comment by Fay Helwig on August 31, 2009 at 1:51pm: We measured 2mm rain over the past two days so it hasn't been a completely dry month. As the rain was accompanied by a couple of claps of thunder it indicates the start of the spring storm season.
The wonderful thing about this farm is our capacity to store water when it rains. Many other Granite Belt farms are in an equally good situation this year when supposedly we are going into another El Nino drought. When you are using irrigation to grow crops, rain fall which can't be controlled is often damaging, but if you have sunny weather and plenty of stored water for irrigation life can be easier.
