Lilly - I think most of us use Photobucket. Free download. Upload your pic to there and then get the IMG code and paste it into your post. Make sense?

And a further question: Raggsy - was the stone wall course good? Did you learn heaps?

Yes, yes, yes I did ..... It is easy once you know how, but it is physical work..... And most important is filling in the core with good balast (they used railway balast ... which incidentally comes from Bombo quarry near where I used to live). And making sure you put in the cross stabilising stones at about 70 cm height.

What they essentially do is a system of scratch my back and I'll scratch yours... You offer your project, put on lunch (we had rather cheap sausages... why won't people pay 50c a kilo more and make people happy but nice buns and thankfully cos lettuce and not bloody iceburg) and to do the course you pay $30.00.
So you pay about $80 a metre for your materials depending on the stone and how/where you can source it, about $40 a tonne for ballast and away ya go. If you have a tractor and a neighbour with stone all it will cost you is time and transport.

You lay the stone both sides of where your wall will be as you work in pairs..

But, there were about a dozen of us on the course, with 3 "instructorts" and the wall was about half built and 27 metres long. In that day we completed the wall... so equivalent to a 12 metre wall 1.2 metres high! Only thing was, they didn't have enough capping stones. I'll post and pm you info. I'm hooked. One of the "instructors" lives at guess where... WINGELLO!!!!


I did a course about 35 years ago and had sort of forgotten, but as soon as I started it all came back. Only thing is I don't have the strength I had then so was using smaller stones and asking for help to lift the securing stones.

Andy Goldsworthy in UK is the Monty Don of drystone wall art.

I'll phootocop[y the notes and send them to you. From what I've seen from the pics you've put up here, your place would lend itdelf beautifully to some installations.

Why would anyone above 35 degrees latitude have a bloody fire?
Especially in Queensland?

Surely 21 degrees Celcius is not cold enough to warrant a fire???.
