My birthtown was Wedderburn which is a town about 15knm from our family farm in Gowar East. This is in the North Central region of Victoria. The area was historically famous as being part of the gold rush region. Wedderburn even now has many people who come looking for gold using gold detectors. I do have fond memories of growing up on the farm and the photo on my main page is a place on the Avoca river on our farm we call the 'White cliffs', we think it is a very beautiful and peaceful place and we still often camp there as a family on some Easters. The attached photo slide shows some photos of our farm when I was a child and Wedderburn High school, which I attended. After completing Year 12 I moved to Melbourne to start a Drafting Traineeship with the Australian government. I originally lived in a rental house in Elwood with a few friends. When my wife and I got married we built a new house in Endeavour Hills and still live there. Endeavour Hills also has a history of originally being a farming area, even where we live there is still some trees that remain from the original homestead. My wife and I often took about plans to downsize or perhaps move to a block of land in the country but seem to alays think we do like our existing house in Endeavour Hills.
