Live wattle fences are useful on river banks to curtail erosion and give excellent protection against fires.lindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-48953352236187907032007-09-05T08:28:00.000+10:002007-09-05T08:28:00.000+10:00so, was the original wattle fence actually made wi...so, was the original wattle fence actually made with wattles? around here, willows are used. it'll be warming up round you, as we cool off here on the other side of the globe. our willows are beginning to change color with the first of the fall frosts.grannyfiddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012742192926851666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-25551290481646742242007-09-05T08:21:00.000+10:002007-09-05T08:21:00.000+10:00Lovely post, Lindsay...makes me feel homesick, eve...Lovely post, Lindsay...makes me feel homesick, even though I am "home". :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks....:)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-60473550714948040872007-09-04T09:45:00.000+10:002007-09-04T09:45:00.000+10:00Hi Gina I have emailed you ~in case of any mix up ...Hi Gina <BR/>I have emailed you ~in case of any mix up my email is rach3095@ozemail.com.au <BR/>~l look forward to hearing from you and would be pleased to assist. <BR/><BR/>Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-4970466684056033772007-09-03T22:31:00.000+10:002007-09-03T22:31:00.000+10:00Hi Lindsay,These are excellent photos of a beautif...Hi Lindsay,<BR/>These are excellent photos of a beautiful part of Melbourne - our own muddy but lovely Yarra!
