Country Scene

We have now pretty much settled in to our short term home and building will begin hopefully around end of March to early April. Its been quite a whirlwind over the last six months with getting our home of 33 years shipshape for sale, organising a place to rent in the country at Kyneton near our block in Trentham. Chuck in a four day working week and a constant weekend open house for friends and family wanting to visit.

Consequently again our blogging has suffered however rather than trying to write a book each time, we will post regular photos of the area and the life in the Central Highlands of Victoria. When I say regular, it could be daily or every few days.

Very early construction of timber home between Woodend and Kyneton. Note the shingle roof which in latter years was covered in corrugated steel - a material used extensively in rural Australia.

  2. My memory of living in the Loddon Campaspe Region was that the summers were hotter than Melbourne's and the winters were colder. If that timber home in the photo is yours, I would be improving the insulation :)

    1. We have a rental property 22kms away from the block so we can inspect the progress which we expect to begin early April. Tree lopping begins this weekend.
