A good time to capture birds is the hour or so after dawn and that suits my sleep patterns! Bird photography is hard - it takes technique, gear, patience and luck. I like to say a good bird shot isn't taken, it's given - but you have to be ready for the gift. We've just been in the south of WA for a month and the b...

I knitted up some slipper socks for spouse and a friend from Bendigo bloom, 100% 8ply wool in slow colour change. Wool was held double and the colour changes in each ball provided an interesting effect - I think "unique" describes these, lol.

Hi all, Mr Dunmowin has done it again. Almost two years ago, while we were farm sitting in Goomeri, we went to Gayndah to the Glen Eden Bullocky Team property, measured and photographed an old timber jinker. Two years later, the end product is now on display, along with two of his previous at the Gatton T...
