A very interesting & informative video relating to timber
- The solution to global warming, all round saviour &
lungs of the world.
Not many kids are aware
of where our food is sourced.
A surprising number do
not even know that a carrot grows in the ground!
This pilot project gives
them a chance to actually grow food in their own school.
A government assisted
initiative to promote healthy living & food choices.
Ask your local Primary
School if they are involved. If they are not – ask them why?
As mentioned in other parts of our website, we are
pro-sustainability.
If it can’t be plantation grown, then at least it needs
to be legally logged from an approved source.
Reduce demand for illegal logging & buy the approved
stuff.
Do your bit to reduce global warming & stop unregulated
deforestation.
Trees absorb carbon. Plantations & managed forests grow
trees. The cycle continues.
Arch Chemicals is our
chemical supplier.
This will link to
technical information on the treatment chemical.
Now, this is what I call a REAL charity. It is run by Rotary.
They are a 100% volunteer organisation. That means when you donate money
100% goes to the project. They do not pay their executives huge salaries,
run fleets of luxury cars or find the “need” for a flash office
block to run their huge “charity industry” organisation.
I may sound cynical. The world is full of worthy causes, but
there are plenty of organisations that make a (very comfortable tax payer
subsidised) living out of other peoples hardship. Rotary is not one of
them! It is a true volunteer organisation and by my definition is one of
the very few “true charities”
Rotary is not in the “charity business”. It is
made of charitable business people volunteering their time, putting
something back into the community. Rotary community projects are very
carefully chosen and are very worthy or my and your support. .
Please click on the above link or contact your local Rotary
Club for more information.

human character at its best and (unfortunately) at its worst!

Association.
We are proud to be a
member.
Our preferred gate manufacturer.
Quality at a good price
As we become time poor,
we neglect to look after ourselves.
Poor diet & lack of
regular exercise can very soon bring on a few kilos & before you know
it, you are no longer fit enough to run around after the kids.
Personal training is an
ideal solution.
Industry experts can
improve your lifestyle and health with diet and exercise.
All in a private studio.
No egos on show. It is your time for you.

Murray Drew
– Unique Australian Artist.
Colourful, quirky,
funny, wry, dry, cheerful & most of all PROUD to embrace AUSTRALIAN
culture.
Put one of his prints in
you family or games room and put a smile on your face.
They won’t make it
to the NGV, but then as the saying goes, “if it causes a reaction, it
is art.”
At least you will
understand it!
We are proud sponsors of
a girls and boys team
Anything that gets kids

The World Cup success
& Melbourne Victory has inspired a new generation to take up the round
ball version of football.
Personally I am fiercely
proud of my footy ((AFL) Go Pies!), but I am also quite happy to watch a
game of football too! Go Melbourne
Victory!
Excellent supplier of
printers, laptops and computers.
Most are “factory
returns” – this means you are saving up to 50% off retail.
All factory repacks come
with a full 12 month manufacturer’s warranty.
Sometimes you
can’t avoid contributing to global warming.
However, it is not very
stylish riding a bike or a skateboard to a wedding in a full bridal dress.
It can also be disrespectful
going to a funeral on roller skates.
Turn up in a limo a turn
more than just heads!

Weddings, parties &
anything.

Tahbilk Winery
People have asked,
“why do we give away free wine and promote this winery?”
The answer is simple
– value, quality & consistency.
When you find something
good – shout it from the rooftops!
There is enough for
everyone!
Like us, they are a
family business – not a faceless corporate multinational.
Australia’s oldest family
owned winery.
Anyway, red wine is good
for you!
And their reds are
great!!!
Enjoy in moderation!
