Since we have moved from Bendigo, and our current abode is in bustling Bealiba, I thought a guide to life in a small town in the bush might interest some.
It's an interesting place, it was a boom town in the 1850's during the gold rush 18000 people lived here. Now there's less than 200. There is a Post office /store, that's it.
I am going to poke around and dig into the history of the area and take some pictures.
I think we will enjoy our time here.

Sounds ideal Murray, look forward to seeing the photos

Really looking forward to hearing and seeing what you find out.

I hope all is going well for you Murray, this looks like a nice place out that way. I hope you have a great day, It looks like a great place to have a OLR.

[attachment=0]53F86ED7-F8E3-47CD-9E33-9F987When we moved out into the bush, as the countryside is called here, I quietly bought 4 small babies in a box on the floor of the car. They were 11 or 12 days old.
I put them in a plastic tub and all the cocks have been feeding them.
I said nothing because people would immediately say they were too small to move.
They weren’t

My lovely little Melbourne hen in her hand basin.
She thinks it’s great

Brilliant They do look happy in there mate

Yes they are. We have taken the view that the next 6 or 8 weeks will be a holiday in the country. I was worried about the pigeons, they have all been thrown together in a big shed.
But the pigeons are as happy as can be.
To keep things as normal as I can, I still go out at about 7.00 am, run the scraper over the perches while chatting to them, then feed them. I am so pleased that I have pigeons flying across the shed and sitting on me when I am in there.
