Banner Photograph - all copyright reserved 2011

The photograph used in my banner is a photograph of my father farming in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland, Australia in the early 1950s.

Yes, those are Clydesdale horses and apparently my Dad, who had a life long love of horses, was particularly fond of that pair. A man knew to respect his animals as his livelihood and the survival of his family depended upon them.

The photograph is a family treasure, and therefore we would appreciate copyright being respected and no use made of the photograph by any other persons.

This photograph belongs to my family, respect that please.

Who Me?

A Sense of Humus: Queensland, Australia; Aided with the knowledge of my husband, an agronomist of some 40 years standing, with a heritage that includes a tea planter from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and dry land wheat farmers of Irish heritage, and my own heritage of small crop and dairy farmers, along with our combined knowledge gained from 30 years of home gardening, we hope to share the joy of the agrarian life, whether you live in a concrete jungle or out amongst the gum trees. So, let’s get a sense of humus, shall we?
