Aussie Finch Forum

I know what you mean VR1 ...there just aren't enough hours in the day to do what we want at times ...

matty..I collect them from sellers these days as I dont drive .I have some realy beautiful ones as my grandfather was a fossiker and tin miner up in the new england area and so I got his mineral/fossil collection and also went out a fair bit as a kid and found some lovely ones.Its one of my great regrets re not learning to drive that you cannot get a train ect to good fossiling sites

Breeding rats, gardening,before the kids I did lots of bird banding and bird watching but that hasn't happened in a while,hoping to go back to uni next year once the youngest is at school, not sure what yet lol

love gardening tafge qualified hort) but have let the weeds grow totally feral for the finches(Ah the things we do!!)Love to fish too but don't get out too much coz some of the coast down here is not suitable to take bugrats.I have 2 horses 2 dogs 2 cats an axalotl a mouse and 5 kids so it all keeps me busy!!Never a dull moment!!My youngest goes into kindy next year and will be looking for work but do not know what yet.

not much time to do any of them at the moment, but starting to get into photography, fishing (started for my 4 year old but it is growing on me), and thinking of getting my motorbike licence (always wanted to do it but never had the courage).

Fishing (Game, soft plastics and bottom bashing)
Surfing
Bit of photography
Food

and in the other hand Beer, Wine and Single Malt Scotch.

And travel when i can afford it, to keep the leader of the opposition satisfied.

With all these members located in Coffs area maybe we should have an annual aviary tour with a Bit of fishing thrown in.

I cant remember who it was written from but as you could amagine premmie babies have very tiny heads. Our 5yo was 3 months prem and if you cupped your palm it fitted in snug, the smallest nappies the hospitals have was still too big was up to the armpits, we still have one. 1mil of milk an hour was given and when born weighed 807gms. Sorry if i am going.
