Hey Maureen, I've just posted a comment to you on my page, sorry. I was trying to cut & paste a long comment I gave Ian!! I'll try again!:'Thanks for your concern, Ian. We were sensible & decided not to go up. The Hawkesbury is roaring. The tides are low at the moment but the water is as high or higher than the peak King tides! Our neighbour up there has been keeping us informed (by mobile when the phone went off!). One otherneighbour's boat was sunk another ended up on the rocks outside our place. Her husband is in the UK with a boat for the Fastnet race, so our immediate neighbour (who's been keeping us informed) became her 'Sir Knight in Shining Raincoat' & got it off the rocks & back tied up at her place. He's 72&1/2. His wife was watching & thought he was going to be pulled into the water, so she stripped to her undies as well & donned her raincoat, but he managed by himself. He got back home & noticed our canoe had been knocked off its shelf so then he retrieved it! There's no power at the moment but everyone we know up there is safe & still have their homes. Some of them have collected pumpkins floating down from Windsor!! The river is muddy & dangerous because of all the trees & rubbish (& pumpkins!) being washed into it. We have friends in Maitland & the Hunter (as a lot of others do) & it's a lot worse up there! It's not much good for the farmers whose produce is being washed away & the others who'd just planted because they'd had some rain!'The power went off Friday evening just after Sandra ran us with the first bit of information, it's still off now. The phone went off today for sometime (Sandra rang us on the mobile to update us about 8am, but she rang us back after 2pm on the 'land line' with a further update

Hi Maureen. Thanks for visiting me, and I am visiting you for the first time. Welcome to your own special page. I have a tradition of leaving a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa as a page warming gift, so I hope you like sweets! For your mate, a bottle of Guiness. Great photos on your Flickr page. Where are these glaciers located that you have pictures of? Cheers!

Copy of comment to the 'other' Kate: Hi Kate from Sydney(Lane cove) I'm sorry I've upset you so much. I've been Kate/Sydney on jigsaws for quite a while. My sister Maureen introduced me to the site. I have a few friends called Kate & at least one of them lives in Lane Cove, so maybe you should add your street in lane Cove as well. I've met Schultz quite a few times on jigsaws. I think he's a great dog.

Hello Maureen, and a very happy birthday for Saturday!! I hope that you will have much better weather next weekend for your visit than we had this! Are you driving down? I think it is about 5 hours trip, but it is a long time since I have been to Dubbo. What suburb does your son live in?

Hello again Maureen! It sounds like you will have a full weekend! The new M7 road cuts about 1/2 an hour off the trip to Richmond, or the Blue Mountains, but you have to have an E-Tag as it is a cash free tollway, and you come out at Cambelltown, on the M5, and then down the Picton Road to Wollongong, so you sort of circle around Sydney. There is some some way of paying without the E-Tag, and I think you have 48 hours to do it, but I am not sure of the details.

The new bridge is spectacular. Ian has some pics on his Flickr page of it, and the coast.

Hi Maureen, congratulations on becoming a Supporting Member. Kate told me a couple of days ago but I have been too busy to give you the courtesy of a proper welcome.
I love your photos, you seem to have travelled widely. I wonder if you have any more photos of your travels that you might like to share with all of us?
I was very interested in your photos of Oxley Downs. Have you visited Dundullimal? it is just out of Dubbo on the road that passes by the Zoo. It is a lovely old homesteadand we really enjoyed our visit. If you haven't been I recommend a visit.
