When I was little it was known as "The Wegener Theory of Continental Drift" The FIT is better if you match the continental shelves, rather than the present coastline. The Earth's crust is only about 40 miles deep. 

"Greed is Good" (for the greedy) .   Newspapers and other media reporting the truth occasionally would help.  Root out CORRUPTION. It thrives anywhere it's permitted to. When the Cat's away, the Mice Play.  Nev 

If each owner has more guns the death rate/gun will fall. The gun  craze is sheer Lunacy. I think they are too close and conditioned to see that with any clarity. NRA is too powerful an influencer. Nev

There were a lot of serious eye injuries associated with crackers. NSW used to have a cracker Night when I was a kid. It's a good way to start bushfires also... Fun though.  Nev

Phytopthera Cinnamomum(sp) is a water borne  root disease mainly of rough barked gum trees. There was a grape vine disease which wiped out many vines at some stage here  (pre 60) and we have also the vine debilitating  critter that attacks  vines the name of which eludes me at the moment, There's also various nematodes more active in some areas than others and several  mildews, deadarm and of course BIRDS. Then you have Hail, cockatoos  mice, rabbits caterpillars and frost after budburst. Who would grow winegrapes?? Nev

3 consecutive days over 42 degrees will knock grapes especially with low humidity. The vine sheds them and saves itself.   Some parts of SA would be hotter and also Mildura. A good area of SA is near the Murray Moufh , Currency Creek area. and Clare is a bit of an oasis too.  Nev

The weed steamers are a good environmentally friendly solution. You "get" them (the weeds) when they are just shooting. Probably less dangerous than an electric iron. or hair dryer. Nev

Thanks muchly for that. My  source was from a german who would now be 130 if he  was alive and a  learned citizen of Wandiligong ( Just up the road from Bright, Fred Mommsen.  Nev

OME you're too busy to go off on wild goose chases. "Flat out" has nothing  to do with a Flatus.  Nev

Yeah. Just imagine knocking back an offered cigarette from one of your mates because it wasn't your BRAND.. Nev

You're supposed to have a chemical user's certificate to use sprays. Id cut right back to the bare minimum with them. Eventually resistance of the weeds builds up and some MONSTER weed emerges.. Get them before they seed.  Nev

No more than any other primary producer. Nev

Make the fee voluntary. The cost of collection erodes the effect otherwise.. Try to get a group going . You don't want to take it all upon yourself.  Nev

You might find a local farmer with a light tractor you could come to some arrangement with. If it's greased and kept under a shelter it won't Suffer much.   Sharpen the blades and  it will cut much better and use less fuel. . Erect a "sponsors" list billboard at the site.  Nev

I'm wracking my brain here. WAS there a poet about Lawsons's time named Dyson. These people used to put on Evenings in towns as they travelled around the Country.  Nev.

You were a Poet that didn't know et?  Nev

A disaster?   Party stopper?   Nev

One thing for sure is you can't make good wine using crap grapes. Good wineries often have their own yeasts  as well.  Where wineries won't pay a decent price from growers they use any kind of grape that has colour. Then that area gets a name for lack of quality. If the grape is not fully ripe it will be more acidic and be low on sugar.. Each winery has it's own winemakers with their own reputations. Nev

What is the acreage you have to mow? It's relatively easy going once any  wire etc is removed.  Nev

Every flying school and aero club should welcome one also. Email.  IF you get  your drome active it's an extra facility for all of them and they are sorely needed.  Nev

That 10 Quid may be a bit out of date. I knew plenty of exporting winemakers and their research is fairly constant in sensitive max price and even though many/some will pay it's a matter of targeting the best market to get the best overall returns. People have to recognise a brand they can trust and you have to have a solid presence in the particular market to do that.  The other stuff just won't be available unless someone makes the effort to import it specifically.  If the French own most of  the Aussie producers it's news to me. . Nev

Can you really tar them all with the same brush over the ONE sample you have experienced? Nev

They'd never pay for the best Australian stuff. It was well known in the Wine industry here there was a barrier to above 10 quid in the UK and they market to that situation. Jacob's Creek is /was known as good stuff but there's plenty better. .   Nev 

How do pushbikes put muck on roads or damage them? Nev

Lawyers , Guns and money. Thats the good Ole USA.  Do they have a clue how ridiculous they look? Oh and give me that Ol'e time religion. It's good enough for me.  The Noose is over here . C'mon string him up. Nev
