    Hello all, I left Newcastle in the early 70s to go to NZ.
    I have always had an interest in gardening and have recently fulfilled a long ambition to have a garden railway and to grow Dahlias.
    I shall post pics soon.
    Best regards to all.
    David

              Oh I would love too, but, it was 32deg, too hot, now pouring with rain and apricot fruit is suddenly ripening and splitting.

                Welcome to GC. :dbgrtmb:

                I actually drove through Roxburgh a few years ago. I seem to remember it being rather small but very pleasant scenery. I think we stopped for lunch there. :scratch: Teviot Tearooms?
