.Well one garden member did bring his wellies. On ya Chris.All three of us managed to accomplish a huge amount.. The weather was pleasant, the birds and butterflies were winging about, we tried to call out to Freddy that we were not going to destroy his home altogether.. We hoped he heard us..We weeded and weeded huge clumps of Cumbangi bulrushes, as these would take over the whole pond if allowed to continue. Also a large area of the indigenous waterplants which would also take over the whole pond if allowed to continue to grow..We also discussed and ...

Four Larks Theatre are a group of Australian and American artistes, who perform in unusual locations. Expect to see a combination of installation, live music, circus, and vaudeville! I’m going to see The Fate of Franklin and His Gallant Crew on March 25, in a secret northside location, and am most excited. Imagine yourself a fly on the wall in 1850s London. Commander Franklin’s naval expedition is missing, somewhere in the Arctic. Lady Franklin is desperate to keep searching for him, and involves Charles Dickens, a fine teller of tales… Visit their exquisite website, you can also become a fan on Facebook, ...

I’ve been walking past a suggestion box in High St, Westgarth for a long time now, and was curious about who put it there. Thankfully, Off The Kerb have solved the mystery for me… The boxes were installed in various locations by Nick Ilton. His intent was to encourage people to stop and contemplate, and, judging by the brief lifespan of his previous public art pieces (anyone remember the square bicycle in the racks at the State Library?), he did not expect them to last very long. Suprisingly, the boxes are still in place, and Nick received many suggestions. These were ...
It's a warm, humid Thursday night and we're walking down to the nearest pizza place on High Street to home. And the nearest pizza place happens to be Pizza Farro. Pizza Farro prides itself on making pizza bases from spelt. Well, you might ask; "what the %$# is spelt and why should I care? Is it some sort of hippie rubbish from the mountains of Tibet, only eaten by goatherds and unlucky goats?"Alternatively, in a more polite universe, you might have wondered more discreetly... " What is this thing, this spelt? What does it spell? ...

Yesterday was the first day of the month. The first day of a new season. It was also the first day of four weeks Financial Services Tier 2 training for my new role. I chose to make it my first day using the c25k app too. When I woke, instead of my normal coffee and downtime online, I plugged in the iPhone and set off to a playlist I had programmed the night before – starting with Tina Turner’s The Acid Queen, from the soundtrack to Tommy. I over-extended myself to the tune of Dead Kennedys Holiday In Cambodia, just ...
Michael and I spent Saturday afternoon at the Applecore Backyard Festival with some friends. The relaxed atmosphere and discovery of some great unfamiliar bands were obvious highlights, but we were also pretty chuffed that we avoided sunburn entirely thanks to some huge, cheap Big W hats. Even so, we were a little drained as evening fell and in need of some sustenance before heading home. We'd spent the day grazing on vege sausages-in-bread and BBQ shapes and had very different ideas about what we needed to eat next. While Michael and Mike originally suggested pizza, Toby was keen on Coco ...
According to their website, the Peacock Inn;"was built in 1854 by Horace and Edwin Bastings. The following year they sold it to the 21-year-old George Plant. Plant was to become synonymous with the Peacock, holding the license until his death in 1895. His widow, Catherine then took over the hotel license until 1910."Welcome to Northcote.
