I found this nicely crafted and decorated small pot by my dam today. No idea how long it may have been there. It is signed,’A.B.’
Probably made from the mud around the dam. I wonder who the artist is?

I have changed the weather widget (top right) to read from a weather station in Yapeen. This is because I found the Franklinford station would go offline sometimes. The forecast is for Castlemaine… and we might get some rain on Thursday!

“…why am I interested in the history of the Newstead/Yandoit area at all? Very briefly, my great grandfather and great grandmother came separately to Australia for the gold rush. They met, married and settled in Yandoit in the 1850’s.”

If you have to leave your horses during a fire, write your phone number on their hooves with permanent marker.
Take off all halters and rugs-these can burn/melt on your horse or get caught on trees/fences etc.

RE: THE COMMUNITY BOOK EXCHANGE
Many Thanks to all those people who have shown an interest in the proposed Community Book Exchange. A particular thanks to all of those who have generously donated books to date and have approached me with promises of books in the future.
The Yandoit Hall Committee have approved the location of the Book Exchange to be on the side verandah near the kitchen door entrance.
I am currently trying to find, buy or have built a weather proof cupboard to store the books and allow easy access to all users. It will be under cover, but the books will still need protection from dust, termites etc.
If anyone is able to assist with the above request it will be greatly appreciated. Once we have storage we can open up our ‘Free Library” to the community. We have a budget of $200 to this end.
