Hiya everyone :-)

The contact email address was snipped from the bottom of this message
(a problem with Yahoo Groups), can anyone provide contact details
please. I will blog this to the front page of the website.
Suggest leaving a gap between the @ symbol or typing in the word "at".

On a more personal note, i have finally settled into a new address on
Magnetic Island and I have an internet connection. Huge Thank Uz to
Greg for looking after the block (I hear things are looking great)
and to Bill who ensured that we had a means to cook meals whilst
dealing with the very hungry bities and living feral in the mangroves.
Thanks guys :-)

It's nice to be back!

Warm regards
Anne
