Re: The View From Your Window
This picture was taken during winter last year here
The first two are outside my front door and the last is my back yard (or lack of one ) I haven't done any at this house yet.

I see the landscape was a trifle out of focus that day. I'd get onto the council about it, if I were you!

Re: The View From Your Window
Got a question for you guys with lots of lovely green land and trees around your houses; how do you deal with the wildlife, as in snakes?
My OH is still banging on about moving east and buying a house with land but I am seriously sh*t scared of the venomous ones that are no doubt out there. I worry about the kids playing outside and getting bitten if they go mooching around etc.
I am doing well though, I used to be scared of spiders and nasty snakes...I'm a brave (ish) bird when it comes to spiders...just nasty snakes are the issue now.

My favourite Tent Web spider passed on at the weekend so just waiting for another one to turn up.
Otherwise love all the birds and the calm of trees around and the nice logs that fall off them to make fires to sit in front of...

I could deal with the spiders...don't like 'em, but could deal with them
But I seriously would've peed myself having a venemous snake in the house and yet, for us to be able to get the lifestyle we would both love, we need to have some sort of rural surroundings. I would happily share my life with birds, roos, possums, koalas etc...but not snakes.
I wonder if they can read? I could put a sign up "Tresspassing Snakes Will Be Shot!"

Well they are around, browns mainly, as long as you are watchful, dont go poking around in piles of wood or are just 'unlucky'. Loadsa friends have kids here who play in their gardens and you may see the odd one or two. Theres usually a thing in the paper - dont wear thongs at nite as thats when most bites happen. I am paranoid about them so just make sure I shuffle alot so they can hear me & if somewhere they can get inside I shut the screen door.
There was a snakke in town the other day - nice!

Also people mow and keep clear the bits they want to walk on.
Snakes do NOT chase you around the yard.
