Hi everyone, it’s that time of the week for the DOWNunder UPdate Newsletter to come into your in box. We are in the winter months here in Australia and for some in the southern states – snow is the order of the day.

Here in Queensland it is coolish, but not unbearable, and hardly worth putting the heater on. Just like America and Europe, the climates vary very much over the large extend of land.

Last week I wrote an article about Bylong Valley Way in New South Wales. This is a very picturesque 100km valley that needs to be travelled to be believed. Beautiful scenery, lots of fat, full dairy cows and farming land. Here’s the link to that article: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art67382.asp

Cheerio for now
