Well dang firstly this is post 51 so no giveway for post 50 aww well I'll make a giveaway for post 63 as that was a good year.
I thought I'd post some pics of home,we live in a rural area called Humpty Doo in the Northern Territory..it is dry season at present so that means no rain for 6 months so things look a tad brown....
pic on the left was taken standing on the verandah lookin out across the front of the block-we try to keep the house area of the block watered during the dry,pic on the right is looking up the back of the block-dustbowl.
and there is the house on the left ..pic on the right..is of a garden bed near the clothes line
and now blogger is palying funny buggers and taking ages to load pics so I shall call it quits for now...
Cheers Vickie

Hi Vickie,
Thanks for visiting my site and leaving your lovely comment. I can't believe that you don't get rain for six months. Wow, does that affect your water supply. Is the house on stilts yours? Do people build houses on stilts because of bugs or what? Hope you don't mind all the personal questions, I'm just curious. I've heard of that in Africa but didn't know that you had to do that in Australia.
It was good to have you visit and hope you come back again.
Hi Dianne,
yep it is true we just have wet season and dry season here.
Luckily we don't have water restrictions up here and as we are in the rural area we have a bore way way down and the water is lovely and clear with no additives. The house is high set yes-originally this house was in Darwin -it survived Cyclone Tracy and was then purchased and moved out here...Highset houses are excellent for airflow, keeps temperatures down quite a bit...also it floods sometimes in the wet season.. Only bugs we get here are pesky mosquito's and sand fly (pesky almost invisible ) ,and ants oh and occasional I see a fly or two.. Oh and best I not forget the dreaded termites...
cheers Vickie
